| | Turned out to be a wonderful morning to head up Green Mountain. I was alone at the start, and the weather was the usual: 45 and cloudy. I made it up to the road to the Green Mountain campground and took the Beaver Pond trail, then stuck to the correct trail (I missed a turn the last time out) and followed that for what must have been a six-mile loop (I need to check maps, this one is a 'timed' rather than 'distance' run. I'm guessing at the 11.). Really fun to discover a new trail, and by the then I was seeing some blue sky. I hooked back with the Wildcat/Gold Creek trails, took the vista route up to a point on Gold Mountain (which was socked in with clouds). But back on the Green Mountain ridge things opened up, I had a wonderful sunny view of Dyes Inlet, etc., and I cruised downhill at a great pace past all the slugs who had slept in. Warm, sunny, and a new trail. Legs felt a little low on energy, but otherwise everything's intact after the longest run of the year. 1:39:46

| | Too much working, not enough running today. Last night I left the newsroom at 1, and had to be back at 5 this morning. After a meeting I came home, took a nap, then a quick 3 on the Shore Drive short route. Felt amazing, and the new shoes didn't hurt. 23:04 supernova glide blue -- 3

| | Skipped the Slug gathering to sleep in, and Mike and I met at Evergreen Park after the sun came up. Pleasant morning to run, a little damp but no rain. We crossed the Manette Bridge, ran over to Lebo, through Lions Park and out Tracyton to Riddell, then back. Nine miles is the ballpark, but I'm sure it was close. Easy pace, though we pushed on the hills a bit. Then we sat at the bakery for an hour, which was great. Fewer miles than I planned this week, but I'm glad to even have this much energy right now. I'll rest up and get back to a normal routine next week. 1:05 supernova glide blue -- 12
