AM:  55F.  7 @ 7:51 AP

PM:  70F.  4 @ 8:06 AP.  Trail romping, definitely not recovery, but legs are feeling good.

Lucky 13th anniversary today!  We celebrated back on Saturday with a hike in Government Canyon and then dinner at my favorite place, the Boiler House - they make a mean cabrito.

AM:  61F, 92%.  14 @ 7:48 AP.  Running-wise, nothing interesting lately as I'm running fairly easy during this mileage increase, but I did have a protracted engagement with a skunk today.  He was in front of me, running down the center of the paved trail, in the same direction I was going.  Every time I'd get close, he'd stop and stare me down with his tail in the air, and I'd have to stop (you don't mess around with a skunk when you have work in an hour).  This went on for a few minutes as he just refused to get off the trail.  Little jerk... Finally he found a spot he liked and got off, but still stared me down as I tiptoed past.

PM:  71F.  4 @ 8:26 AP.

AM:  68F, 92%.  7 @ 8:13 AP.  First gnat in the eye this season.  That usually doesn't happen until April...hmmm.

PM:  71F, 83%.  4 @ 7:57 AP.  If the rain stays away (unlikely), then I'll do my first trail long run tomorrow.  Otherwise...roads.

AM:  58F, raining.  22 @ 7:14 AP.  Rained all night and during this run, so the state park trails were out.  I went to Leon Creek to run on a stretch that I knew wouldn't be too flooded, and did 2 x 11-mile out and backs.  The first one was 7:31/mile and the second one was 6:57/mile, with a few @ MP and LHMP.  I really enjoy a good, rainy run.
