Finally got out into the woods and hills. I skipped the Fishline 25k for a route with more elevation gain, I need more work on the hills. So it was Green Mountain early on on a Sunday morning, where I had the whole place to myself. Today was a gray, foggy Pacific Northwest winter day, and on the higher parts of Beaver Pond trail I had the image in my head of the Dagoba swamp where Yoda lives. Run not enough here, I do. I'm still not in great hill shape and felt a little fatigued on a few of the longer climbs, but I finished the run strong. That's a good sign for finally getting over 2 hours on my feet. Now to push that along in the coming weeks. 2:12:00 brooks cascadia 5
