I wanted to get 10ish but ran out of time.  I really need to get up early in the AM to get this done.  I almost got shot again on the firebreak road, this time with a sling shot. It's a war zone out there after all the rednecks wake up.

Little neighborhood run tonight.  I'm going to try something more serious tomorrow.

I wanted to do something more ambitious today but I thought it would be longer.  Turns out, my complacency has resulted in a loss of stamina. Or maybe I'm just off today. 

I wanted to get up to hells hole and then up and over flag rock.  It would have been close to 12 miles with ~3500 feet of elevation.  I only managed hells hole before I ran out of time and motivation and had to come home. It didn't help that I didn't start until after 9am.
