Notes
Hopefully my last 4 AM wake up of the week. Groggily took to Coal Creek just after 5 AM and set out for 13 but since I felt so weak yesterday I decided to put the pressure on and went a couple miles further out so I'd have to cook on the way back. The uphill journey out had me doubting since the pace never felt comfortable but got out to 8 miles and flipped after a quick pee break. I ripped the bandaid off and set a strong pace for the first couple of miles and that woke my body up to the point where the last 4 miles were all pretty relaxed around 6:00 pace. Would've been an awesome return if I didn't have to stop to use a trail-side portopotty just past 2 miles to go.
