| | Another early morning run at Usery Pass with Mike and Glen. I decided to wear two running shirts, shorts, and sweat pants. I also thought that it would be light by the time we got there, so I didn't bring my reflective vest or headlamp. That was a mistake. Luckily Mike had extras. I got a little headstart. I had to stop and wait at the intersection for three cars. Glen passed me shortly after that, and he was moving! I did hear him say how clear it was. Indeed it was. The remaining stars were bright and beautiful. Mike caught me shortly thereafter. I had gotten my pace down to 10 min/mile even before Thanksgiving on this course, but now I'm back to over 11. My legs felt heavy. Not sore. Just heavy. I attribute it to the hike I did with SlowJoe Monday. My runs during the week were on a flat surface, so I didn't feel it. But heading up the hill today, I did feel it. Anyway, other than that, I felt decent. Mike was about a quarter of a mile ahead of me when he got to the top and turned back around. He said that he think Glen went down to the Park entrance. He actually only went to the shooting range entrance. I saw him coming back when I got to the top and we both crested the hill from opposite sides at the same time. I told him, "Good timing!" He immediately left me in the dust again. There were probably a dozen or so cyclists out this morning. We saw a couple of runners when we were going to the sheriff's station. Mike remarked how one of them was wearing A LOT of clothes. I saw them coming up while I was coming down. I high fived one of them. Right at the very bottom by the intersection I could see some people walking around with vests on and signs. I figured they were out to bring awareness to the public of the wild horses. That's exactly what they were doing, and we saw about 15 of them. I took some pictures, but I'm too lazy to post them here. Go to my Strava if you want to see them. I also blew out a nipple. A picture of that may or may not also be on my Strava.
