9:15 p.m. Late start because we were busy with Max's Eagle Court of Honor. Tami and Jens were going to play tennis, so they dropped me at Smoot. I ran 1 mile to Freedom Hills. By now it was completely dark. On the way, Tami got me worried about snakes on the trail. I ran 4 switchbacks worrying about serpents biting my ankle. But none did. I haven't seen any rattlers on the trails since May. I think it's safe before 10 and after dark. After FH, I ran back to Smoot fast to catch a ride home. They weren't there. I was so mad they ditched me, I ran home fast, too. The fast running dissipated my anger. I don't know that 100 is going to happen in the next 6 weeks. Maybe it's one of those goals that was a good idea at the time, but not very realistic. Or it's one of those goals that if I stretched and worked to achieve it, it would be a worthy accomplishment I remain undecided about Huntsville, pending Hobblecreek. If I can't come in between 1:23 & 1:25, I don't think there's much point in going for broke at the end of September. And if there's not much point in going for broke, I'm not all that interested in running another 3:12ish marathon; been there done that. 18/100
