Yamanobori, etc. -- Saturday 7/01 (backpost)

Later start, after a better sleep: out by 6:30 and off to No-shi park's southern tip, then follow the river southwest and head to the hills. Aiming for one place (Miya no sawa) but miss it and so head uphill anyway (asking another runner for a hint en route); end up on a real mountain trail (= bear warnings!) and stumble over a couple of streams through to the next valley. Find a way down, then intersect with the route I was looking for. Head back up it, but too tired to try it today. Home with much meanderings, sort of feeling my way. Good workout, probably the limit for now (if not for the mountain trail, probably a couple of miles more).

Time: 1:30:27
Speed: 6.9 mph
Distance: 10.48 miles

Comment: definitely a "try over" route, though I should perhaps bike it to see where it all is first. A. could bike it while I run, perhaps. Seems that Saturday mornings will be good for the long run, and then Sunday rest day (but see next entry...)
