I love getting lost a for a bit!

Did my long run today, though it ended up being shorter than I wanted. I wanted to run for 3 hrs but the trail ended at 2 hrs 22 minutes. It was a great run, though (flowers blooming, hummingbirds humming, cool air) and I got a whole lot of elev gain. Topped out at about 9600'+ and saw (and patiently waited for the exit of) a cow moose and 2 calves right at the beginning. What a beautiful day.

Based on my performance today, though, I've finally decided that the 17 mile trail race next week is out. I need to work on the Achilles attachment to the calf a bit. I thought my calves were going to explode for the first hour (all uphill, of course). Plus 17 is a lot more than the 13 I did today.
