Still in Monticello. 9 in the morning. It was 10:00, but not too hot. Went up to the lake. Entered onto the trail the last possible entrance. Went around counterclockwise, which had me at 4.5, so I turned around. It was easier running around clockwise. Followed the road back. My pace wavered right around 8:40 the entire time, but dropped down to 8:29 the final, downhill mile. Way nice getting that many miles in the mmorning.
3.5 in the evening with Ruby. We went up to the lake (1.5ish out) and over the dam and back. On our way back, Ruby had gone off the trail, stepping in cactus. A small piece stuck to her back paw. I picked her up to pull it out getting a few pricks in my finger and a nice yelp from her. She was able to run home after, so Ruby is a trooper. 8:30 average pace, I think.
