I wanted to do hill sprints again, the aftermath was so good last night.  I decided I needed to do flag rock though so the plan was flag rock, north to south, and hill repeats at the end of that, then finish out the loop with the last 2 miles of trail.  By the time I got to the hill sprint area it was dark, so I bagged it, finished out the trail and came home.  Hopefully I can pick them up tomorrow. 

I have pictures from this run but I don't know how to upload them to this blog.  If anyone can tell me the secret I'll gladly start posting them.

Nice run! To add a pic you need to add it somewhere else on the net. This site won't host the pic for you. Once you have done that when you are creating a new entry or when you are editing an existing entry there is an icon up above the text with mountains that you can click to "insert/modify image". Click that and there is a tab where you can paste the url where the pic is being hosted. Then you can hit preview to look at it before you post. Hope that made sense.
