Mon 7/21 - PM 85 mintues plus 20 minutes in Walden

The route each day is different, what with the variety of trails to choose from, and yet the overall time keeps coming out between 80 and 90 minutes. Started relatively slowly today, tired after not sleeping especially well in soupy humidity last night. For the second day in a row got going soon after heavy rains had moved through. Gradually moving better but never to a great extent. Right hammie just sore enough to be a bother, esp. when slipping on roots or rocks which of course happens all the time. With all the rain making footing slippery this was only worse. Deer flies becoming increasingly obnoxious. Quite pooped after getting out of the water. Picked up the pace on Thoreau coming in but it was less than spectacular as the needle was close to empty.
