September 30 (84 miles/week)

Above Donner Lake
PM: 10 miles moderate

While my friends from Duke went rock climbing en route to driving home from Lake Tahoe, I used the time to get in a nice run around Donner Lake. I floated down the mountain highway and around the lake at 6:20-6:30 pace...at least until I had to go back up to where the above photo was taken near where we'd parked the cars. The last 1.5 miles were straight up the highway toward Donner Pass, leaving me thoroughly taxed by the end, especially at above 6,000 feet. I definitely felt the altitude, but like yesterday, today's run was pleasantly invigorating.
