Felt a little fatigued, but slogged through six miles.

The mud had dried, so felt pretty good about doing a Castle Rock to Summit to North Peak to Mitchell Canyon to Castle Rock run. Made the summit in 1:53:30. Felt ok getting to North Peak, then down to Mitchell Canyon. Got lost running around the north end of the park though, and had really low energy climbing back up Deer Creek fire road, and it showed in my pace.

Spent ten minutes talking to a guy named Ernesto about States, which got me energized for the return to my car. By the time I hit Stage Road, I was really flying and felt very good, more like I had run 20 miles, not 30.

Felt pretty good until I hit the west side of the park, where classic East Bay mud clung to my shoes and made running a pain (though not as bad as it could have been).

The weather was also surprisingly warm and humid - I had to take my shirt off to keep cool. In January. Go figure.

Just went straight out on Stage Road, to keep myself from doing a lot of climbing on muddy trails. Joke was on me, because at the end of the trail was a pretty long incline. Felt off, maybe because of the one beer I had the night previous.

Trails were muddy from a couple of days of rain. Thought the Vibrams would work well in that terrain, but they also accumulated mud and were actually fairly slippery on rocks.

Hips hurt the next day. Not sure if related to the Vibrams run.
