Easy run in the rain w/Eric over in his neighborhood. We added a little hill work on stratford pl and high stratford pl. There are some very stately homes up there with a nice view of the city. 46:00/7:48

Trail run on the Land Trust section of Mt Mist. It had rained Mon and Tues so I knew I would get into some mucky sections of the trail, but overall it was very runnable. I started at the Trough Springs lot and ran down to Bluff Line, Railroad Bed, Alms, a side trip around 3 Caves, then up Waterline and back to Trough, then a short out and back on Natural Well. Felt good to be out on the trails, even got snowed on a couple times. 1:16/10:30.

Morning run with Eric in his neighborhood and Pt Mallard. No adverse effects from yesterdays trail running. The low sections of the Pt Mallard trail are still under water. We talked about the sorry state of both Decatur City Police and Morgan County Sherrifs depts. 52:18/7:28

Afternoon run:

I headed over to the mountain and did 8.5 from the trough springs hikers lot to natural well then down into mccay hollow. I missed a turn and ended up climbing out of the hollow by the picnic area west of the lodge. That's the 2nd time in as many tries on solo runs that I have missed that turn. Rest Shelter hill will wait for another day. The remainder of the run was the first part of the Mtn Mist course to the bankhead road crossing then on the cold springs trail to fern dr crossing then onto the land trust's high trail and bluff line back to the trough springs lot.
