71F, rain! - Early morning hike with Dick at GCNP to scout out the terrain. It's similar to Middle Creek, but it's really lacking point features. Since there isn't a bridge crossing the Gunpowder, it was perfect timing to test the water with the rain. The first time we crossed, it was low at just above the ankles. As it kept raining, the current quickly picked up. The last couple times we crossed, the water got up to just below the knees. Anyway, it was good to spend some time at the park, even though its prospect isn't as great as I once thought.

Wildlife report: some varieties today. Some toads on a hillside way above the creek. A turtle. A big deer. Some kind of rodent. A flock of turkeys on the ground. And some sort of flying turkeys? I have no idea what kind of birds they are, but they were big (turkey like) and flying off the tree tops.

R shin started feeling the pounding after the 5th, so 6 it is. Besides, I wanted to save some energy for the Ramble. Ran these slightly slower than last week's, but the perceived effort was much easier. Happy to see the times keep getting faster per interval, but not happy with the consistency. It was rather undisciplined.

10x100m strides, w/ 20m recovery.

Recovery between intervals.
