Cool morning, a little sprinkle in the air even. Mike and I drove out to Klahowya and ran the east side Newberry Hill trails. We ran about 10 minutes in on Deer Fence to Chantrelle Trail, then stopped for 15 minutes to look for mushrooms. Mostly pretty small, but we still filled a bag. Stashed the bag and kept going out Chantrelle to Coyote, then the main loop and back through Wildlife Trail. Picked up the 'shrooms and back the way we came. My left hip flexor and groin were pretty tight and got really sore the last 10 minutes or so. But I kept up with Mike's pace, we weren't moving too quickly. Too many days off and too much sitting at work lately, I think. So the run was fine, but the social time was really nice and we got caught up. 1:05:55
