Sat 8/21 - AM 165 minutes

longest run by time for a good while that didn't also involve long stretches of hiking in Colorado. Started from the Spring St. lot in Williamstown, headed to Mt. Hope via Stone Hill, up to Deer Ridge after a loop around Mt. Hope, back to town via Hopper and rt 43, then over to Bulkley and NW Hill road to Hopkins Forest, heading back from there. Took a while to get going, left leg tight and stuck from yesterday's climbing and took a while to shake things out. Finally started to move well on the trip back from Deer Ridge. Stopped for fluids at about 1:55 and then headed up NW hill, which is longer and steeper than I had remembered. Surprised to not suffer more for not refueling more consistently. Excellent weather conditions probably had something to do with it.
