Notes
cool and overcast but pleasant enough thanks to the stillness. forecast high for today was upper 50s, so I packed only a t-shirt... but the gloves and a reasonable pace were plenty to keep me warm.
up north side of the dam at the department, then over the ridge and did the longer loop. tried to find a log entry for when I've done this route previously, but couldn't for some reason. Mark says it's around 5 and a half, so I'll trust that. lots of steep descents keep the pace slowish. hams and glutes working well on the climbs, and tired out the quads and calves on the rocky descents. knees seem to be okay, so I'll keep it up. trail running is lots of fun and keeps the mind active. should try and do this route weekly if possible.
