Clear Creek Trail in Silverdale at a very comfortable pace, 58 minutes total. I wanted to keep myself fresh for tomorrow. Clear Creek is the flattest run I do, other than one 1.5-mile loop that shoots off uphill into a little wooded area. So it was nice to get those types of miles in. I felt good but cramped up somewhat in my hamstrings about 1-1.5 from the finish. Same type of thing from a month ago, hadn't felt that in awhile. I'll stretch out and Advil, see what happens. Strange thing about this route, at least today: I think every tiny dog in the county was being walked on that trail. I must have had 5 6-inch tall dogs lunge at me today. I could have had a lot of dog splat on my soles if I had wanted to. Good thing I didn't ask myself what James would do.

No mercy for the punting dogs! You just better be able to outrun the ticked off grandma walking them.
