pm--4.5 Tready miles. The watch is calibrating a bit differently after the latest upgrade. I go off my watch, which I think runs off cadence, instead of the meter on the machine.

am--4 Vineyard w/ a group I haven't run w/ much. Solid easy pace.

pm--6 Anasazi w/ LG out, scrambling to hit my climbing goals. I made it by 4 meters. Xc has bumped up my mileage but cut my climbing. Need to be more cognizant of that. Should be a little more welcoming temps in the afternoon soon.
