Hi i'm Chuck

Yesterday was hike day, so that's my excuse for not running. Woke up at 4:30 and ran while the sun was rising, it was a little odd having sunrise at 5am. Ran from camp to Nugget Falls, had to bushwhack a little after making a wrong turn. Ended up being 9.2 there and back finished running around the meadow we camped in.

Next two days are scuba days so running is going to be too tiring. Motivation to run is really low, it's too cold in the mornings and the only clean running shorts left are BOAs, we'll see. Ran along Montana rd, a nice dirt road that went to nowhere, but the view along the way was awe-inspiring. Could see the from one end of Mendenhall glacier to the other as well Nugget Falls.

High+2 was pretty much the only reason I ran today. Could finally do the 6.15 trail to the top of the glacier. There was a lot more elevation gain on this trail than I thought there would be, ~800 feet of gain meant the pace was low on the way there but was flying down the trail on the way back. Attempted ice bathing at the glacier source but 35 is painfully cold and hypothermia is no fun.
