Wanted a little more time, but didn't want to spend it on asphalt, so hit the usual Hare road turnaround and proceeded to follow the dirt road up and over the hill into Ellington. Followed one trail I hadn't noticed before which was quite nice running, but after about 2 minutes I ran into a manmade barricade across the trail, so rather than tempt fate, I turned around and retraced my steps. Tossed in a couple of short hill surges on the way back. First half of the run felt pretty forced, but after 15 minutes or so I loosened up and things felt much better, though certainly not energetic.

Crappy week at work, major budget cuts, had to cut some student labor positions - generally pretty demoralizing - didn't get out to run at all this week and it shows in my higher blood pressure readings this week
