Running 25:35 [3] 3.0 mi (8:32 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow2 Black
Hermann short. Purely a pre-Thanksgiving, mental health jaunt.

Running 53:26 [3] 6.4 mi (8:21 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow2 Black
Hermann-Rice long. Chilly mid-afternoon run. Despite the excellent running conditions, my essential lack of physical fitness was highlighted over the last couple of miles when it just wasn't easy to keep the legs moving that well. Bleh.

Running 41:30 [3] 4.8 mi (8:39 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow2 Black
Hermann + Rice. Not a very energetic run in fairly warm & humid conditions, but the legs didn't feel too bad. Being the 3rd run in 3 days, legs that don't feel too bad definitely counts as progress. Off tomorrow and back at it over the weekend.

Running 48:05 [3] 5.8 mi (8:17 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow2 Black
Hermann-Rice short. Cool, pleasant morning. A bit of high shin ache on the right leg, but everything else was okay. Going to keep at it.

Running 41:08 [3] 4.8 mi (8:34 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow2 Black
Hermann + Braes. Time to get my shit together and find consistency again. Kept the mileage low because stringing together consecutive days is a priority. Everything felt fine. Nice cool morning. Breaking in new kicks - the Flows are great shoes, but by 300 miles they're really crushed out.

Running 37:36 [3] 4.2 mi (8:57 / mi)
shoes: Brooks PureFlow 2 Blue
Hermann loop. Mixed in just a bit of walking. Really, really out of shape. No getting around that fact. Very humid and warm. Bleh. Gotta keep at it though...

Running 48:24 [3] 5.8 mi (8:21 / mi)
shoes: Brooks PureFlow 2 Blue
Hermann-Rice short. The legs felt like crap - achy and heavy. Otherwise, not a terrible run. Just need to be consistent about strengthening the core and hips, and getting back into some careful range-of-motion stretching.

Running 48:38 [3] 5.8 mi (8:23 / mi)
shoes: Brooks PureFlow 2 Blue
Hermann-Rice short. Back at it after a long layoff. The chilliest morning of the fall, by far, helped offset some leaden legs. Not sure what I want to do with my running through the rest of the year - just play it by ear for now.

Hiking 2:00:00 [3] 5.0 mi (24:00 / mi) +800ft 20:51 / mi
shoes: Inov8 Roclite 295-v2
GNP - Bush Mountain Trail, up and over the Marcus Overlook and back. Felt pretty wasted from the previous day's hike and a poor night's sleep. Unusually calm winds overnight led to significant condensation in the tent. Which in turn led to the need to remove the fly, sleeping bag, pad, etc. and wait for the sun to work its drying magic. Which in turn led to a very late start to the hike. Once I got up on the Marcus Ridge and started the descent, my right shin (which had been sore toward the end of the previous day) began to ache. After dropping maybe 100 vertical feet, I decided I didn't really want to hike down to the Marcus campsite just to turn back around and hike up again. So, I turned back, climbed back to the overlook, took a seat, and just enjoyed the amazing views and utter solitude.
Hiking 35:00 [3] 1.5 mi (23:20 / mi)
shoes: Inov8 Roclite 295-v2
GNP - Mid-afternoon stretch of the legs up to the park entrance (on the border) and then back down Tejas for a bit to get some decent photos. Just enough to justify another beer.

Hiking 6:00:00 [3] 15.0 mi (24:00 / mi) +1800ft 21:33 / mi
shoes: Inov8 Roclite 295-v2
GNP - Tejas to McKittrick to McKittrick campsite and back. Nice, relaxed pace both ways. Easy to forget how technical much of these trails are. The early part of the McKittrick Trail is quite narrow & at times a little overgrown. But the views down into the canyon were spectacular. Weather was a little schizo - sunny and mild with calm winds one minute, overcast, breezy, and chilly the next. Felt pretty worked by the end.

Hiking 45:00 [3] 2.0 mi (22:30 / mi) +225ft 20:20 / mi
shoes: Inov8 Roclite 295-v2
Fort Davis National Historical Site. Hiked a nice little loop that overlooked the fort site. Very cool place.

Running 49:29 [3] 5.8 mi (8:32 / mi)
shoes: Brooks PureFlow 2 Blue
Hermann-Rice short. Calves were "meh" but everything else felt fine. However, as I log this run some hours later, they're just killing me. Think it's time to shut it down for a bit. Should have lots of low impact hiking to keep from feeling too fat. Will focus on getting past this for the next few weeks.

Walking 40:03 [3] 2.5 mi (16:01 / mi)
shoes: Brooks PureFlow 2
Hermann short. Calves were amazingly sore, but I wanted to get out and move around a little on a very pretty afternoon.

Running 1:11:53 [3] 6.6 mi (10:53 / mi)
shoes: Inov8 Roclite 295-v2
HSP. Getaway run while working the Little Rocky AS. Absolutely beautiful morning - cool & clear. Definitely felt the effects of a zero week and a lot of work stress, but once everything warmed up, it was really a nice run. Used a couple of faster racers as rabbits during the final mile and pushed the pace pretty hard, just because it felt good.
