Easy run thru neighborhood at night. After all the digging, hauling of coolers, and other activities involved with putting on the Delano12, I had some soreness in muscles I don't normally use causing my whole body to feel old. 22:00/7:20

Ran after work thru neighborhood and oak lea. Was planning on doing 8 min pace, but just ran how I felt. First mile was 7:45 then I picked it up after I started to get warm and loose, but still nothing too fast. I'm looking forward to wed,thur,fri up on Monte Sano with  the family at a cabin. I'll get some good trail running in and some good hikes with Kelly and the girls.   36:15/7:15

Night trail/road run on Monte Sano. When I run at night in Decatur there is plenty of light for me to see my way w/o a light. Up on the mtn with just a sliver of moon low on the horizon there was none. I carried a small flashlight which only lit about 30 ft in front of me. Pace was real easy to avoid trips and falls.Earlier in the day we took a 3 mile family hike from our rented cabin to the Stone Cuts trail, part of the Mountain Mist 50K trail run.I'll add some pictures shortly. 50:00/8:20

7 with Kelly on the roads atop Monte Sano @ 10 min pace. Took a half hour break to get the the girls up and help w/breakfast, then back out for a 6 mile all trail run.Encountered a small (3 1/2 to 4 ft) rattle snake sunning itself on the Mountain Mist trail, at first I thought it was a stick across the trail, but as I got closer I realized what is was and did a large bound to get over it. I stopped and observed it for about 30 sec, it didn't move besides rattleing its tail at me; I took this as a sign I was not wanted there so I ran on. 51:15/8:32

8am trail run on our last day on the mtn. From the Cabin to the White trail to the Family Bike trail (out and back). This trail is fun to run fast on, it has a smooth soft surface with a lot of quick twist and turns and very little elevation change. I then got on the South Plateau blue trail and ran all of that back to the hikers lot and took the white trail back to the cabin. 56:02/8:00

 We checked out and headed over to the playground and then the girls put on two improv routines at the ampitheatre. We did a short hike down to a waterfall and got more pictures then headed down into Huntsville for shopping and lunch. We really enjoyed our stay on the mountain and would recomend the cabins, they're rustic, but nice.
