Notes
Morning rain (and sleeping in) kept me from making this an early run. My left ankle and knee were feeling a bit beat from last night's Ultimate, but I was hoping the run would improve them. Don't really know what my BF long run pace should be, but feel strong, so I started out at what seemed like a pretty good clip. Not many people on the trail. Most interesting thing was that it was shortly after a thunderstorm, so there was a fair amount of tree stuff on the trail in places - wet leaves, twigs, acorns, linden seeds. The latter gave me the most trouble; stopped and ran on grass a few times to brush off the feet. Had a side stitch threatening along the middle mile, but I decided to try to run through it, and managed okay; it faded after a while. Feet felt good, ankle iffy, knees okay. Finished feeling reasonably strong.
