Missed yesterday's workout because of a 13-hour day at the office, and I was still feeling the cumulative effects of three long work days this morning. It's our 75th anniversary at the Sun, and we put together a pretty good special edition (see www.kitsapsun.com if you're interested). But it's taken some time, in between everything else. 

Six brisk miles this morning on the Manette Hills route, felt good other than a needed potty stop in some woods halfway through. Knees feel a little creaky right now, which is weird. Maybe I need a trail this weekend. 41:40

Hey, do you have the gear (i.e. headlamps) and the desire to pace at night? Cody wants to do from mile 37 to 75, so you could pace the last 25 or so. But it would all be at night.

Sure thing. I've got a headlamp, and wouldn't mind that shift. I'll be on vacation and have fewer duties than Cody that weekend, so it makes sense.

Great, we'll plan on that. Get you hill legs ready- the last 8 miles have a doozy of a downhill! And you might want to have 2 headlamps or a headlamp and flashlight, so you can see the rocks better. It should be fun!
