Green Mountain, somehow getting better!

This overcast Wednesday I went to Green Mountain and tried out my new Forerunner 305. I wanted to take it a bit easier the first part, and it did feel that way. But I managed to make it in 10 min to Saddle which I think was a pretty decent time. The rest of the way was pretty arduous, though I trudged through it @ 21:14. I didn't feel like I had a ton of energy, kinda the opposite of last time where that didn't hit me til the end. But I managed to comfortably make it to the top in 55. Going down was effortless and felt fast, only a little knee joint pain the last 5 min. Total distance 4:11 in 1:32 with 2,297 elev gain. GPS

The full Hall's Ranch tour

Guess I have been a bit slacking on writing! Monday I went on a run through Hall's Ranch near Lyons which I really enjoyed. The air started out cooler than usual but it heated up fast. It's amazing to run all the way to some abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. There were some nice views of different perspectives of the Blue Mountain area and Apple Valley which I haven't seen before. I think it's tedious enough just going up our 4 mile dirt road, let alone a 5 mile drive-way! Saw deer prints on the path and then much later, saw mountain lion tracks. Wonder if the deer was getting chased? Total run 10.1 miles in 2 hours exactly and 1829 elev gain. Google map
