13.5 miles in 1:43:29, 7:40/mi, HR 155. Moved up medium-long run to take advantage of the holiday and use my new forest pass to run some new trails nearby. Nice new scenery shared with a few logging and occasional pickup trucks. Hills were a bit more than I'd anticipated with the monster starting at mile 3 gaining about 850' over 1.5 miles. Time doesn't reflect my "lung stops" where I had to pause for a few seconds to allow my lung to catch up on the steeper sections. Some nice views and I snapped a couple of shots with my phone for posterity (and for the search and rescue team if my navigation skills had failed). A fine run on a fine day (although my body is in desperate need of my chiropractic appt tomorrow). Starting up the hill...
 This looks like the top....NOT!!!
I was there...the road right of center...
 A better perspective....the road on the left side of the picture....and this wasn't the top!
