Rest Day 12/2/11 Short MAP Run

Sleep 7p-4a
Sugar couple chocolate covered toffee almonds

Took the muts to the WWC trails we used to frequent prior to our recent move to the country west of town. I didn't have much time and wanted to burn off some of their energy.  So I did 20 sets of 30s easy run (Z1-2), 30s walk.  Felt good.

Rest Day 11/25/11 Mini Hike to Max Patch

Sleep: 7:30p-4a
Sugar: a couple chocolate covered cashews

Lloyd on top of Max Patch just after sunset. 

The hike was only about 20 minutes today, as we decided to take a different route which ended up being an hr vs 30 minutes drive from home.  We were hoping to catch sunset, but arrived just after.  Any visit to Max Patch is well worth the trip.  It is this bald with 360 deg views of other mountain peaks & valleys in all directions.  No civilization in sight.  I love it...especially on a crazy day in our society such as "Black Friday".
