San Anselmo. Walk up to the open space at the top of Spring Grove Ave via Hillsdale, then up the gravel road. Took the right fork, which resulted in a dead end. Came back via Greenfield.

Phoenix Lake. We actually started up from Natalie Coffin Greene parking at 5:45. Very pleasant temps, Lake was lovely. 5 minutes up, 44 around, counterclockwise, 5 minutes down.

Jeep trail next door. Fog just lifting. 50 degrees at the start, close to 60 by the end, very nice running conditions, and beautiful sun rays filtering through the trees and visible in the mist. Gorgeous. Felt strong, but after hard workouts both Sunday and Monday, wanted today to be easy, and it was, even though I got going pretty fast over the last mile.

451, 428, 422, 415, 409, 408, 401, 155 (first lap of the next to last loop was also 155, so I slowed the pace down a bit)

Cool down

Very hectic day dealing with Greenfield issues.

Lunch with Charlie and Roz (and David) at Oracle.

Local terrain and jeep trail next door. A rare workout after a workout day. Legs not real springy, but felt ok. Attempted to take it easy, but there's no real taking it easy in this work out. Was already in some oxygen debt before the end of the first split.

Had wanted to run before breakfast, but didn't get out until 11:40 and it was quite warm, high 70's with hardly any breeze

Run with O-glasses, but no map.

Warm up on jeep trail. Splits are for two laps at a time, 0.44 mi:
451, 427 (Tot: 919) --warm up was surprisingly fast given how easily I was running

To woods loop start: 30

Forest running:
4 x [1 x house + [2 x woods loop]]: 516, 508, 501, 501* (Tot: 2028)

*tripped and fell on first forest lap of the last split, lost about 5 secs

Jeep Trail next door. Out at 7:15 am. No breeze at all, 70 degrees, feels a little warm but OK. Not a great night's sleep, but legs felt good and got going quite quickly. Had to work on breathing by the time I'd run a mile, but kept pushing the pace without straining. Good run.

445, 418, 404, 400, 352, 348, 347, 145

Last 2.42 in 2118 (8:48 pace)
