| By unknown reason extremely hard - didn't have gas from the very beginning of the run, and it didn't return back later in the run. Struggled but competed loop around lake, lucky that didn't go to run at 7:30 in the morning with Melisa and Angela - they went for 18 miles... Made it to the kitchen and understand that I'm not in shape for 2.5+ hours run. Took a nap and started my run alone around 10am.

| shoes: Salomon 3D pro Ultra |
| Night run around Lake Chabot. Tested new lamp, Princeton Tec Apex Pro, works quite good. Combination of 3W and 4x1W diodes. The most useful was 4x1W mode, which gives visible area around 40x30 meters plus solid focused high beam, up to 85 meters, which was not very useful in the dense forest - reflections from trees blinded.
Run felt very good, way better than last Wednesday. |
