Ran on the local trail today. Went further up sombrero than usual. I forgot how crummy that trail is to run on. If I could learn to run quick on that without spraining an ankle I would be awesome. AP: 10:43

3.5 laps up beacon hill. I was pretty tired on the last trip up and had to walk a good portion of it.

Ran up sombrero saddle again. I felt really good going up. I felt like I could run the whole way except for the terrain is so rocky. I went up sombrero about 200 vertical feet above the saddle.

This was a great run up Wasson peak. I felt really good and my time was my personal best by at least several minutes. I was also able to run up the whole way. Every lap was faster than my usual. It was a really encouraging run. AP: 11:03.
