1:17:38, 10.8K. A variation of my Highwest classic, copied from Niggli with a few mods. Not bad running today, weather cool with low humidity and legs felt very good. Still not as fluid as I was before Christmas, but hopefully a foundation to build on for the training ahead. HighWest summit- 29.20.

1:09:13, 8.5K. Easy pace, but fitness sucks as even found this difficult, must be one of my slowest ascents on High West. Just gotta get on with it anyway as will only improve by getting out there, but not as easy as it used to be these days! High West summit 32:45,

1:15:47, 10.5K. Great cool weather for this challenging trail, easy on the flats and steady on the hills. Screwed up the finish and headed down to Kennedy town, so I suppose that will be the new course for this route. Still descending shiggy like a wimp, High West over a minute slower than before.

1:17:10, 10K. Hill running at a steady pace, easy on the flats. Not bad as foirst attempt at such brutal climbing for a few years! Took easy on ascent to High West and even easier descending as I’ve become totally over cautious these days- will have to run that out of the system before KOTH. HR 136/154. Activity/17491175
