Morning run on Green Mountain before heading to work late. It was warm (enough, I suppose, maybe 75), and I had the forest mostly to myself until I started passing the motos on my way down. Good to get it done with quietly. My legs were good to start, but the left groin and hip flexor started in at a little under an hour. Not so much on climbs, but definitely on all descents. I ran down slower than usual, just taking it easy, my groin was really screaming for the last two miles or so. 

Wildcat to the Horse Camp in 22 minutes; Beaver Pond to Gold Creek junction in 23:39; Plummer/Gold Creek to the Beaver Pond junction in 26:11 (Plummer is longer but less steep than the Beaver Pond approach); to Summit in 9:56; return via Wildcat (rathe than Beaver Pond, mostly due to the pain in my leg) in 44:56.

2:06:43 total, which is a little slower than I have run that. Still a good run and nice morning. I was feeling fatigued by the finish, so also a good run training-wise.
