AM: (8 miles, 1:13:xx). Nice run on the River trail from La Cholla to 1st Ave (I parked at the trailhead here because I had to drop the dogs off at day-care while the movers were at the house). The trail is marked at 200 m intervals (sweet). It is primarily ashpalt, but I chose to run on the packed dirt along side the trail -- part of the trail was even shaded! Bathrooms/water about every 2-3 miles (sweet again). Going West of La Cholla (towards our house) the path is hard-packed dirt on one side of the river (a wash actually, no water except during monsoon season) and ashpalt on the other. Nice morning - I had to get going by about 8AM because the movers were at the house, it was about 70F and sunny.
PM: (3.5 miles, 31:xx mins). Ran with Dean to the River trail from our house -- along a busy street a little over a 1.5 miles (my car registered about 1.7 miles). There is a bike lane and dirt road so it is ok -- but I did not like the traffic much. It was much warmer this afternoon! |
