| Up early today and ran part of the Equinox Trail Marathon course by Fairbanks, AK angling East off it to run along the oil pipeline for about two miles. Perfect temp of 60 degrees but had no water and had to stop to drink out of a river. I've been reading a lot that the risk of disease from rivers is highly overstated. I guess I'll see tomorrow. 22.3 miles. In the evening I met up with the guys and gals of Runner's Club North on the Wolverines high school track for a good track workout of 5X1,000, 4X800, 2X400, 5 strides. Easy running before and after with some cool tales of trail running up here. 8 miles

| Denali National Park. No way to even describe this place. The kind of country that makes you drop to a knee every now and then and thank your maker that it even exists. It fills your soul. 6 million acres of national park. Elevation from 600 feet to 20,360. My first experience with the park was with the rangers at the Wilderness Access building. The ranger just grinned when I said I would be running here today and asked for trail maps. Trails and buses are for tourists he said. We encourage hiking or running off trails. Run across the tundra, follow the rivers, try and stay out of the heavy brush. Go anywhere that you want. Park your car outside and run the ridgeline into the park, park entrance fees are for the folks riding the park buses. What?! I ran on the tundra for an hour or so and then angled up into the mountains maybe gaining only a thousand or so feet. I had jello legs from yesterday and had no idea how long I'd survive. It's easy to not get lost since the sun is always just above the west horizon, morning, noon, whatever. I carried a big PB&J in my pockets and drank from the rivers again since I had no issues from yesterday. The thought kept coming to my mind today that this is the reason why I run at all. Just to live. You could spend months in this park running. The only odd part of the long run was hearing these weird bells for a while coming back and then I came across a solitary German hiker with a battery powered set of bear bells on his pack. Constant jangling. No idea how you could learn to hike with those all day. Check out the price of a veggie tray at Fred Meyers in Fairbanks...

| Savage River trail, Denali. Trying out some trail techniques from Bob, pres of Running Club North for going downhill. It's likely I have the worst trail form in the country. |

| Morning run in Cancun. Pretty much at the limit today on this run from the week's mileage or just because it's so stinkin hot and humid today. I did get a good swim in though after. The waves were breaking 5-6 feet which is the best I've seen in Cancun. There were actually surfers out which is a first. I headed out for the break point and got caught in a strong current that scared the crap out of me. I was going out much faster than I was swimming in. I turned a 90 to the current and swam maybe 10 minutes before I got out of it and could turn for shore. Much longer swim than I wanted today but a lot of fun. |
