Sun 7/29 - AM 95 minutes

Truncated version of the long run from 2 weeks ago. Same route for the first 45 minutes, into town then down Birnam and Winchester to Pierson and Mine. Then on to Staddle Hill, up and over Burt Hill, and over to the covered bridge. No break at the bridge this time, and went straight to the TV tower via Gunn Mtn Rd skipping the Schofield Mountain portion of the run entirely. Slept very poorly last night, between the humidity and whatever animal was sniffing around the tent at 3 AM that woke me from a fitful sleep. I knew within 10 minutes of starting the run that I'd be cutting things short, only a question of how. Hopefully the route chosen is a suitable compromise. Actually picked it up a bit the last half hour or so, but it wasn't sustainable for the extra 45 minutes plus the entire loop would have taken. Further evidence of this was that I spent much of the afternoon in a deep sleep. Very tired right now. Humid and overcast all morning, with showers starting up as soon as I finished, just in time for the bike ride down from the top of the hill.
