Had killa work weekend and spent most of my 48 hour shift awake and was exhausted and stressed and needed some freedom.

So hit it up on Birch Hollow to Elbow Fork trail then another half mile or so up the upper road.  So pretty up there right now because the road is still closed to upper Millcreek which makes it a no car territory and few people.  Ran free...

Gdoculous run...hoofed it up from Birch to Elbow without breaking from a "running" stride.  This is not always possible for me the first 1.5 miles which is a steady vert meister. Beautiful day...

White Pine Trail up LCC...

 3 deer including one that stayed about 100 yards in front of me up the trail for about a quarter mile.

2 squirrels

1 wiley chipmunk

Many beautiful vistas...this is a stunning trail from about 1.5 miles and up.  I could tell my altitude fitness sucks rocks...but fun stuff today.  I tried to keep a running pace up as far as I could.  Had to walk here and there on the way up and didnt make it all the way to the lake.  Once you hit the above thetree line and you get to 4 massive and barren switchbacks you are still in snow.  Could be done but just wasnt feeling the sliding around mojo today.
