Notes
5M 43:00, 7M 64:00, 10M 98:00 I did not walk until Bush Notch. The run deteriorated at 16 miles and so I am logging the half marathon and then the next 10.1 as a separate affair. I went out comfortably taking advantage of the first easy 3 miles, and felt great at 5 after having contended with some trails. I had a couple lost moments in dagobah, and the terrain was slow. At no point did I feel walking hills was usefull. I found a great easy climbing stride, very efficient even on the steep stuff. Bush notch I ran half way up, and walked to the crest, walked up most of the next hill, and ran the enitire climb to the Beacon for a 2:15 half. At this point though I was pretty messed up and real frustrations began. It was an excellent day up to this point. I saw tons of animals and even got close to a big Quarry truck but didn't get kicked out. The quarry hill view was spectacular. No visible bears, just deer, owl, pheasant, turkeys and a garder snake.
