Notes

Our last day in the Northwoods and this one will be memerable. To begin, the weather was just daring us to do an adventurous trail run: plenty of rain and wind. We started running down from Wolf Ridge, having fun and avoiding puddles and mud until it didn't matter anymore. I ended up in the lead before the uphills and was feeling good. Once Hero and Hazard turned around I picked up the pace and did my best not to fall on any slippery rocks or roots.

Nevertheless, once we turned back and Rebel had the lead, the pace went even faster. But it was one of those runs that you seem to have bottomless energy - maybe summoned from college days when running with Rebel was a daily thing.

We both started to feel the run on the final climb, but those were some solid uphills. Rebel is certainly in solid shape (that's assuming I'm decently fit) and I can see how running these trails would make you strong. Wish we could have had more runs.
