Tuesday, August 17, 2010

AM: I met the xc team for their morning practice today.  Most of the girls wanted to run in the Dishman Hills, so I drove to the trailhead while they started running through the neighborhoods.  I met them there to run 2.5 of their  5 mile run with them.
PM:  We'll see if I have time to get in an afternoon hike or run today--I'm meeting friends to carpool to the Salmo Loop trailhead tonight--we're going to do it again!  Okay, I'm going to do it again--these guys weren't there for the rainy/cloudy version of the hike weekend before last.  We are going counter-clockwise this time to get the cooler temperatures during the exposed Shedroof Divide section of the trail.  I'll have my camera ready in case there is another bear encounter!
UPDATE:  I managed a few more miles this afternoon--when we first arrived I set up my tent & then took off for a short run.  I ran up 535 about a half-mile past the Wilderness boundary & then ran most of the way back before my calf started to hurt again & I had to walk the rest of the way back.  Then after dinner Marge and I walked a quarter mile back up 535 to take pictures of the sunset. 

Today's total mileage: 6 miles
August total mileage: 178.65
