6.3 miles @ 8:49/mi. Murdock trail south to Wil's.

At Wil's I turned north up the hill and looped back around to Cascade, then back to Murdock trail until 1600 N, then down the Fast Half Mile from 400 E to Main, to home.

I pushed mile 2 @ 7:46/mi.
After the climb up the hill by Wil's I pushed the next two miles: 8:32, 8:27
Pushed the Fast Half Mile @ 6:55/mi

It felt like a good workout. The weather's been great for running...clear roads, good air...but it won't last all winter. I'll take it while it's here.

5 miles @ 9:56/mi. 2000 N to Dry Canyon then Murdock trail solo.

The uphill miles were slow but steady. I averaged about 7:40/mi coming down, not pushing. About 9:20/mi on the level trail.

I walked for about 0.15 miles near the end when I felt some tightness in my left calf. I then jogged the last 0.35 miles home without pain. Time to roll the calves.
