   It was very nice to get back out with the group and hit the trails again. I've been carpooling for a few months saving my nickies and dimes to get the best hybrid option for a car. That car ended up being a Prius. Got what I wanted it just took a little while to find the right one for the right price. The run was nice. On the way out I thought it was going to be an awful lot of uphill during the return, but the return turned out to be no worse than the going out. I also underestimated myself. I went out a little hard, feeling like I was just under the red-line. So, I slowed down and focused. That is I focused on form and strengthening the knees. Once I hit my groove I felt like I could have just kept going for another 10 miles. Oh well. I'll get more mileage in next time. The glucose started trending downward at mile 3.5 so I dropped back on the basal and ate my granola bar. I had forgotten my Gel flask....dooooogh....so granola would have to do. beautiful evening and a beautiful run though. I look forward to many more.
