The best December weather ever just continues forth...beautiful 50 degree sunny, calm morning again. Shorts and a t-shirt were comfortable. Really slow and easy 7 miles, up Skunk Canyon, across the Mesa Trail, Down McClintock trail. First time on McClintock, really like that trail. It winds right below Chataqua but you feel totally enclosed and secluded until all of a sudden you pop out in a neighborhood at the bottom and look around and realize there were houses on both sides of the gorge all the way along. 1:19 - 1100' vertical. - Very nice leg recharging run. Pace was really, really slow and leisurely the entire time. I'm liking the Monday slow recharge runs a lot lately, they tend to be very rejuvenating. And its really easy to just get lost in the enjoyment of movement through the forest single track.
