This morning I ran Cave Peak Trail. This trail is only 1.8 miles long, but it is very challenging. It has three steep sections. Each one is longer and steeper than the one before. Those sections are considered not runnable, even by my standards. Today I decided to see how much of them I could run. I made it up the first section without stopping, but I only made it a few steps up the second one before being slowed to a power hike. The third one was also power hike. I hit the top at 35:05. That's a new PR for this route. The downhill is challenging as well. I managed to stay upright on the steep sections. Downtime was 19:20.

Today is my wife due date, but no baby yet. Perhaps by the end of the day.

Wild Rose Trail. I did four miles this morning in the dark. My light broke just before I started. I haven't had much luck with lights lately. I scared a group of hunters who didn't see me coming. The probably thought I was nuts. 

 Two days overdue now. Still no baby.
