am (:47) CL1. Ran north trail from home. Felt good. ITB seemed much better today. Foot ok too. Saw a black bear and her 3 cubs in the field to the East of N/E entrance to Paudyn loop. Very cool. I was downwind from them so they couldn't smell me. About 100 meters from them. Stood behind a tree and watched them for about 15mins. The one cub kept trying to get the other cub to play with it.
