Went part way up lake mountain this morning. Turned around a little after the snow wasn't packed down anymore. Did 6.75 miles, Climbed 2193 feet in 41 minutes, Mile 1 10:18, mile 2 11:03, mile 3 12:12, .31 4:52., then made it back down in 20 minutes. Mile 7 was at a 5:37 pace and the next half mile at a 5:21 pace. Awesome day to be on the mountain.

 Ran 10.29 in the PM with Wes.  Circled Geneva.  Apparently it is 10 miles to go around Geneva, that is if you go the way we did.   Ran a 6:12 mile at mile 16 for the day, with a 5:49 half.  Incredibly warm this afternoon.

What a day! Was there new snow? There was a track most of the way up on Sat. We did have to break some trail, but our tracks should still be there. That is a fast pace up there. Nice!

There was new snow, no tracks from where I turned back. Very soft, squishy snow, like running uphill in thick soft sand. I didn't have time to slog out the last mile in that so I turned around.

Nice running today Dan!
