Brook Loop from home

Down Bristol, Indiana, bike path, Coalton TH; Coalton, High Plains, Greenbelt Plateau TH, across 93, Flatirons Vista North, Doudy Draw, Doudy Draw TH, South Mesa TH; Mesa, Towhee, Shadow, "Bridge", Mesa, Big Bluestem, Mesa; home the same.

Started at 5:31 am. Tried to keep the effort comfortable on this run. Physically wasn't all that comfortable but not too bad (right calf, plantar (?!) in both feet). Not used to running so much (ie, most of my "runs" involve a fair bit of hiking). Walked a few times on the run to South Mesa. These were mainly when messing with the FM radio tuner and headphones. This was the first time I'd ever run with tunes. Kinda liked it except the radio reception stunk for much of the run so lots of static. Need to get some tunes loaded if I'm going to do more of this. Anyway, walked the steeper hills on the Brook Loop. On the return home, I ran most everything and felt pretty good keeping it going. The tunes might've helped with this. Did take one Ibuprofen leaving the South Mesa TH.

Ate 1 package of Clif Shot Bloks and 2 S-Caps. Drank 60 oz of water (carried 3 bottles from home).

Something like 24-25 miles and 2600' of climbing. Probably should've added on a bit for a marathon PR. :-)
