My wife and I spent Friday night in Chattanooga so I ran on Lookout Mt sat morning.  I found  a 12 mile loop on rock creeks website.  Once I got started I couldn't find any trail markings for the trails I needed to be on.  I ran a few on a jeep road and then climbed to the top of lookout mt.  I don't know if I was all the way at the top but the views were great.  I spent a few minutes on the top and then went down.  I had a lot of fun and wish I had more time to spend and try to find the trails for the 12 mile loop but had to get back to Alabama.

I had a pretty good race considering my lack of training.  I decided to turn this into a long run and run it for fun so that's what I did.  I ran 2 miles to warm up and finished in enough time to change shoes and get to the start.  My plan was to start slow and pick it up on the last 3 miles.  I ran the first 10 miles around 8:15 pace.  And the last 3 in the high 7's.  When I finished I got some water and then ran 1 mile cool down and stretched really good.  I really enjoyed the race and had fun.

2 miles.  Set the alarm for 4:30 so I could get extra miles in but it was extremely foggy and after 2 miles I decided to stop.  I could barely see so I figured drivers wouldn't see me.

Really tough trail run this morning.  Legs were aching around mile 10 and I ran out of water at mile 13.  I was really suffering and started cramping while climbing waterline the last mile.

5 miles after work.  Got off work a couple of hours early so went to the running track by the house.  Did 1.5 miles slow with the dog and then did 3 at a faster pace.  I then got the dog and did .5 mile cool down.

Got to the race early and did 2 miles warm-up before the start.  I started further back than I wanted so I had to do a lot of weaving in the first mile before I could run faster.  Felt good the whole race.  After watching my finish I headed out for 2.5 more miles.

 Watch time was 23:00

Got up early and headed to Monte Sano to run.  It was cold and raining when I left but had mostly stopped by the time I got started.  My legs felt fresh and not tired surprisingly.  I took one wrong turn early and couldn't find a trail I was looking for later but overall it was a good run.   Really happy my legs felt good.
