Took the leg out for a test drive this morning.  Everything went okay. I'm going to do 5 more tonight I think, and if everything checks out then I'm going up to Flag Rock tomorrow.

I didn't get the 5 mile test run in last night so I went early this morning. Everything went okay so I'm back to trails tomorrow.  Hoping to try the marathon distance to Francis peak and back in a couple weeks.

Flag Rock Loop north to south.  A celebration run because today I finished law school. I was as fast as I was last time I did this route, which says something I think, but it didn't feel as good as it used to, which definitely says something.  2 weeks off is a killer.  Now it's time to get the serious training going in preparation for all the fun of summer. 

AP: 11:38, 2,146' vert
