Trail note: I fell short of the 12 mile goal by about 1/2 mile. I used a trail closure as an excuse to turn around early. On a good note, my knees didn't start hurting until after mile 7, and I didn't need to stop for them (much better than 2 weeks ago when I had to walk just about once a mile from mile 5 on). Averaged ~ 8:50 pace.
