| shoes: Denver Salomons |
| Run on the Ice Age Trail at Timberland Hills. Went SW to paved road, road run back to car, then N, E, SW as the day faded away. Started out a little slow because my stomach was grousing, but speeded up in the 2nd half. No trail maps, so I had to run it by checking the direction of the (fading!) sunlight, which gives it one star for the concentration needed. |

| A disappointing sprint run. Lost about 45 seconds on 6-7, I overcorrected going across the side of a hill and had to come back down a row of trees to hit the control. |
