First long run to start the summer training season.  Headed out north out of Phoenix along a canal and then transitioned to a trail that just went out into nowhere.  It was awesome, not a car or person in sight for 15 miles or so.

First 11 miles just under a 7 min pace, then didn't find any water so I had to drop of 20 seconds a mile just to get it done.  That left a mark..

Nice run Steve. I have this image of you wandering around, parched, in the desert. I do that with my long runs a lot. Just hope to find water along the way - but not in the middle of a desert.

Be careful out there! I had an experience like that once up Emigration canyon. I almost did'nt make it home.
