Peach Mountain Round #1.
Spoiler alert: If you have a favorite part of Peach Mountain, you'll probably get to go there! And it will be great, so much runnable woods. Walking was annoying, I need to be free.
Forgot it "closes" at 6 pm which I tried to respect so I left a few for next time.
Exited park a few hundred m from my car, so I remembered I wanted to ingrain pace counting into a sort of low level, continuously operating task, so I practiced that a bit. Now to add that into my in-woods navigation!
Some of the other Ford students ride bikes, so I should be sure to get something road-y in the next month or so for commuting and riding.

Preview/vet Waterloo Red. So much good stuff out there.
Got interesting at the end - 2c from the finish, the darkness crept in faster than I expected, also, distant thunder rumbles and rain drops - mind you, I have no bag on my phone or map, and no light, it's around 7:40 pm.
Get very close to last c and there is now lightning reasonably close - horizontal and bright. Rain is starting to pick up. I speed hike to my car, catch my breath, before I make the first turn it's raining heavily.
finally got the spring 2016 ads rolling, hopefully we swamp bnm and jk. running through the season is a general smoc facebook ad targeting SE Michigan (a 35 mile radius around Livonia, roughly, which covers much of populated Oakland county and still picks up A2).
Haven Hill has its meet specific ad targeted at "fans and friends", which is about 10k, I may also have to try "fans only", perhaps for the meet after Haven, to compare effectiveness.
but we may have to normalize to determine effectiveness, as six meets vs. seven or eight would be lower turnout normally.
yes I count myself among currently non hosting slackers. in my defense, I logged and spend 28 hours Thursday to Thursday on the current homework load.
