Notes
Route: Colson Parking lot up road to Lewis Hollow-Ridge to Pinnacle- Fort Mcook-Harlan-Sugar-Lewis Hollow to lot
Solid run this morning. Was thinking it would take 1:50-1:55 to run but felt decent on the run. High 20s to start and I warmed up quick going up Skylight to the ridge. Ran almost all of Lewis hollow which was nice to do. Along ridge ran strong throughout with spotty snow/ice on it but didn't cause any issues. Nice views with no leaves on the trees. Going down to fort mcook was running downhill pretty strong even compared to last week. Hit harlan and knew I was running down stronger then during the summer then was time for sugar. I was really happy with how I felt up Sugar. I haven't ran up it in a couple years when dad kicked my ass. This time I ran virtually the whole thing except couple icy spots and when I had to wait for a lady to get her dogs out of the way of a creek crossing. Passed the normal skylight guy on the way down then back to the car. My trail legs are the best they have been in a long time. Getting stronger. No wildlife which was a surprise but passed a few people on trails you normally don't pass people
