This morning I awoke at 5:30 after a really poor night of sleep camping with my son at his Klondike Derby at Ensign Ranch just west of Cle Elum. To be fair, I was in a heated cabin but the "beds" were plywood bunks and I "graciously" gave my sleeping pad to my son. So it was me, my sleeping bag and a very solid piece of wood.
THe run was a bit spooky since it was dark and basically wilderness. The last 6 miles I did on the John Wayne Centennial Trail which goes from Snoqualmie all the way to at least Montana and maybe farther. Not a fan of running on gravel but it was a good way to kill some mileage.
Chilly, but I was prepared. |
