Route: Evening run down Pouzar Rd, a beautiful, practically deserted dirt road near my home in Northern Michigan and back again. Complete with meadows, wildflowers, houses set back in the hills, the threat of possibly seeing black bears and white tail deer.

Gripes: Vicious cramps from an improperly digested supper, heavy legs, an irresistible call from Mother Nature a mile in, bubblegum loss at the 0.5 mile point, chest pains, had to walk for a bit in the middle.

Positives: Felt strong at the end, excellent cool weather with just enough humidity to get the sweat flowing, new stopwatch performed admirably.
