endurance--long hike/run

Dutch Creek/Jones Creek loop (clockwise direction) with Kurt. GPS'd at 18.4 miles; the guidebook says 19.7. About 3500-3700' of climb depending on whether I consult the Suunto or the GPS, respectively.

Time 5:14. Walked more than usual on the downhills, to preserve my foot (which felt fine), and because Kurt's knees were bothering him. Gorgeous day.

Felt quite good at the end; not wrecked at all.

This is the first really long day of the year; it's cool that I had a good day despite doing only 12-18 miles/week of running (sometimes less), and working mostly on strength/circuit/interval stuff.
