24 mi in 3:29:03

long run at Stn Mtn.  Felt good today.  Some twinging of the left hamstring on two inclines.  But didn't push and it never went further.  Felt very strong today.  Thought I might cut the run short when I turned for the final out and back at 21.25 mi.  But close to the turn, I met Patrick who had been running the other direction.  Ran with Patrick for 3/4 of a mile.  Ran faster to keep up with him and the legs responded very well.  Felt good after too.  Spent more than 50% of the run on the soft surfaces around the mtn.  Right foot 2nd toe nail next to the big toe is turning black.

The older you get, the more perpetually achy those hamstrings become!
