Resting heart rate before start = no reading.

I had been meaning to run parts of the Appalachian Trail while I was here, and since the Trail passes less than 5 miles away from Carlisle Barracks, I decided to give it a try. It ended up being about 5 miles out and back, which probably accounts for all the wrong turns I took. Still, running through the woods up and down mountains is actually kind of fun.

As a preventative measure, I decided to pack my Camelbak, which was smart. I drank all but about 3 oz. from a 72 oz. bladder that had been filled with ice water.

I was meaning to take splits, but I realized that there are portions that, after a rain storm last night, were so slick that I risked busting my ass on trail and decided not to do it.

I knew I was dehydrated, but I didn't realize the extent of my dehydration until I voided a tiny trickle of dark orange after getting back. This was after killing a quart of Powerade in addition to the contents of my Camelbak. Yesssssss...

I was thinking about going hashing this afternoon. Given that there's a flood advisory this afternoon, I'm not sure about that one now...

Splits
None recorded. Overall time 1:54, but really it doesn't matter.
