Back on the road after 10 days for work, packing, moving and football. Garmin didn't want to recharge, so had to go back and measure by car to get tonight's run. although my guess was pretty close.

New place is near Free Ferry Road, which is a pretty busy street that lacks sidewalks. Went up Burnham to Free Ferry, then looped it around to 74th, down to and across Rogers to Phoenix at the airport entrance. Simple route, but very, very hilly. Got to Phoenix in 31:45, and decided I'd try to negative-split it in spite of the fact the return route is net uphill. Managed to get the neg-split by 38 seconds. Distance turned out to be 6.50. That run also links to a 9.3 mile loop around the airport, so that will give me a 16.8 mile run that will be a doozy in terms of hills.

Fartlek run at Ben Geren with the new headlamp. Still stumbled on a rut in the trail anyway, but can't imagine trying this without a light. Five surges totaling 10 minutes in three laps around the trail, which is 4.65 miles. Legs felt pretty good considering I did that hilly run last night.
