Ran out to beacon hill and then went up it one time just for fun. I was slow going up the hill and walked a decent bit. I'm not sure if the 4 previous miles made me slow or the fact I still had 4 miles to get home did.

In the evening I did 2 more miles to bring my daily total above 10.

Ran up Wasson peak with Sean and his friend Mark Who showed up in a weight vest, long pants, long shirt and boots. I thought either this guy is going to kill us on this run or he is going to die because he has no idea what he is doing. It was the latter. The running time on the run was excellent, but we ended up waiting quite a bit for Mark. That is probably why the moving time was so fast. I ended up having to ditch them towards the end so I wouldn't be late for work. 

Oh yeah also saw the first rattlesnake of the year on the trail.

First run was while on call around the hospital.

In the evening I went out again and got a few miles in in the trail. It was made all the better because it was during a thunderstorm. It would have been better if it rained harder but can't have everything.

Tan up beacon hill 2 times. First time I have seen other runners there. A group of high school cc runners came at the end of my second trip.

In the morning I ran up Wasson peak. It was pretty muggy. So much so that there was a fog across the valley. That is my 6th trip this year. Maybe I will get as many trips as I did last year.

Second run was just after a pretty heavy rain. I went on passed loop and had a ton of mud with the trail washed out in several places. Fun run.
