9.5 miles in 1:14 at 10am.  Started at Gory Brook, then ran on Witches Spring, Eagle Hill, and 13 Bridges trails, then up the OCA to Rockwood Hall, through Phelps, all the way through Philipse Manor, and through neighborhoods back up to Gory Brook.  Weather was coolish and overcast, humid as usual.

Easy pace the whole way and didn't push it.  Felt OK though a little lethargic at times.  Wore sunglasses and zoned out most of the time.

Went quite a bit farther than planned, which was dumb.  I misjudged the length of the Rockwood/Philipse loop, and briefly took a wrong turn in the Manor.  Had meant to only do about 6.  This was dumb, since I plan to do a tempo workout tomorrow which I may postpone a day.

Triax (1): 356 + 300 est.

Triax (2): 93

Adistar: 493 + 50 est.

Cumulus: 228

Tough break, the gimp is 1/2 mile above you on the mileage board. I had to go 10 just to top you.

Looking forward to some runs in a few weeks.
