I haven't uploaded my watch data yet but I've been up this trail several times before and I'm fairly certain the vertical feet are accurate, if not a little conservative. This was the Centerville Peak trail up Parish Lane that runs to the top of the mountain. I made it to the campsite on top of Centerville Peak and then went up and summitted the actual peak before heading back down. The trip up was not that bad, I was expecting much worse since I haven't done any serious hills in a long time. I ran the whole thing with no walking and got to the top in 45 minutes. The trip down was a bit slower than normal due to snow, ice, and people with dogs not on leashes.

My run today was 4 x .4 mile sprints as part of a larger workout. I wanted to get up this morning and get at least 3 in before work but I was up all night sick from something I ate. I know I need to ramp my milage up so hopefully I can make that happen this week.

Lame, I know. 1 mile as part of my other workout. Someday I'll get back to running more miles but it might not be until the snow clears.

Same as yesterday. Good thing I'm doing this crossfit thing or I would have missed a few runs already.

Speed test for crossfit. I ran the mile in 6:38. I need to knock 30 seconds off that time to take the gym record.
