| Ellison Wetlands parking lot on Empire; west on Empire, to Winton (took a few side streets in Empire/Winton area before actually coming out on Winton). Winton to Tryon Park (the street), then to Tryon Park (the park). Got a little disoriented in Tryon Park, in spite of taking an orienteering map with me, so I took a few wrong turns, thus getting some extra distance and climb that I hadn't counted on. Finally made it onto the trail that heads out to Browncroft.
Went into Ellison Park, did a loop around the park, then headed back to the car via the Ellison Wetlands trails.
Warm day, and I think I was still feeling the effects of the hill workout at Bristol two days ago. I was pretty wiped out by the end. |

| Hill climb at Bristol Mountain. Took "Green" trails only, and although they seem mellow enough to ski or snowboard down, they sure seem steep enough when climbing. I ran very little on the way up (maybe 10% of the time) because I just couldn't maintain even a slow running pace. Climb was around 1150 feet according to my GPS, and I covered about 2 miles going up. On the way down, I took a detour to do another fairly short climb, from the hairpin turn on Infinity up the the "midstation" on Rocket. Then when I finally got to the bottom, I ran about a mile and a half on Rt. 64, on the flats.
It took me 29 minutes to do the climb. I'll have to see if I can improve on that as I get in better climbing shape. My goal is also to work up to three repeats of the climb. |

| Long, easy run with Anne, with a lot of climb but not pushing the pace at all. Started at Empire, ran through Ellison Wetlands into Ellison Park, did a loop around the park (the part north of Blossom), then back to Empire. |
