Did a very nice 6 mile run at Point Mallard with my new Forerunner 205 GPS watch.  I know Casey will appreciate being able to see the stats.  : )

This run is a flat out and back on a 3 mile long crushed limestone trail that runs through the trees between a golf course and the Tennesee river.  It's very scenic with views of the river and lots of wild waterfowl.

Nice to see you are enjoying your new toy. Good run. Have you thought about the 25k race in bankhead (visit www.blackwarrior50k.com) Its a third on gravel and then it does the loop by the horse camp (orange?). That is still in my official "no racing" section of the calendar but I'm considering it as a good workout.

Yes, I did consider the 25k option of the BlackWarrior, but Lori is visiting that weekend, and I didn't think she'd want to spend the day standing in the woods cold & bored.
