Great morning adding and re-positioning some ornamental brick in DL's garden.
Then, back to the Appalachian Trail to pick up the section I left off on Thursday (between Mount Wilcox South & North Shelters), and hopefully continue to the next road crossing (Jerusalem Road I believe).
Parked on Beartown Mountain Road, which was easy to arrive at. The first section just past Swamp Brook measured out at two-miles, so I had an easy four-miles once back at the Beartown Road crosssing.
Continuing north, the first two-miles were again very easy, but then I dropped twice fairly severely in that last mile before the turn-around at Jerusalem Road.
The climbing back out repeating that last mile was intense, but I made it well enough and finished the day with 10-miles and 2275' of climb.

Took a drive out to the Appalachian Trail, at my ending point in Massachusetts from last October where Routes 23, 183 and 57 all sort of converge. The parking and first bit is in Great Barrington, but the majority of today's adventure was in Monterey.
Plenty of climbing today, 2200'. I ended up turning around about a mile after the Mount Wilcox South Shelter, at a small stream crossing. Mount Wilcox North Shelter would be within the next mile for me. This was roughly about 4-miles out, and seeing as I was only averaging about 3.5 mph, it was a great spot to turn back.
Finished the day between 7.7 & 7.8-miles on the gps. This was steep, and rocky, for much of the day. It was also close to 70-degrees and sunny, so what I completed seemed fine.

Yearly Running Miles Goal Update
Somehow, the year is a quarter over already...
March 28th was the end of the 13th week of the year 2021.
My mileage goal of 1350-miles in 2021 is on pace, whether I look at daily or weekly average.
Daily Miles needed to get to 1350 = 3.7-miles per day.
On March 28th, this would be a total of 321.9-miles, and I am at 378.2-miles (+56.3).
Weekly Miles needed to get to 1350 = 26-miles per week.
On March 28th, this totals 331.5-miles, and I am at 378.2-miles (+46.7).
