AM: Easy 6

PM: Malan's PR. Had no intention of running a PR, just wanted a solid paced run up and down.  Ended up with a 49:53 RT, with two pit stops for a shoe tie, a few moments of digging around in the leaves and deep cursing when a bush ripped my Ipod out of my pocket, and deep inhalation of ganja when I ran through a freshly exhaled cloud and a group of hippies. Felt like a good effort, but wasn't all out. 4.5 miles, 2250 vert.

Tired run up Indian with a neighbor.  He is just getting into trail running and has never been up to the top of Indian and wanted the tour.  We had a great time and kept it pretty easy.

Easy 5 recovery run. Slow, slow slow and eeeasy.

Easy little cruise with my 4 year old, pond loop.

Ben Lomond/Willard circuit. 1:32 to the peak at a pretty easy effort. Ran right over the peak without even a pause, cruised to Willard Basin, ran about half the climb to Willard Peak, crawled through the "Needle" and power hike to the peak.  Hit lap right at 2:02 and kept heading South across the goat ridge. 

I love this section, scrambling over rocks, ducking under trees, cruising knife edged ridges, and even one 5th class 25 foot down climb, which I have tried to avoid every time I do this, but it's pretty much the only way through without a major detour. Luckily the terrain is pretty easy. Took my only stop through here, when a close encounter with a goat and kid, that wasn't too thrilled about me being between it and the baby had me waiting on the high ground for a minute or two.

Reconnected with the proper trail and felt strong cruising back up to BL. Ran back over the top at 3:02 and thought I'd try and hit the trailhead under 3:30.  I felt really good on the way down and kept the last 4 miles below 7:10, even clocking one at 6:52.

 Ended up with 3:28 RT, which taking the descent and ascent times on just the BL section, I should be around or just under 2:30, which last year was an all out effort.

20.5 miles, 5400 vert. 3:28.
