10.4 mile morning run here in Torrey again. It was a little cooler this morning than it was yesterday. However I didn't have the headwind the first 3 miles or so and that was nice. Once I got warmed up I settled into a solid stride and ended up being 3 min's faster than yesterday with an avg of 7:15 pace. That's pretty good on this loop with 5 extra pounds of winter running gear on. Now I'm getting ready for a day of exploring for indian and spanish treasures up in the cliffs above town. Most likely it will be just a nice bike ride and hike up in there. But you never know when you may find a spanish gold bar? 4 miles this afternoon made up from my bike ride/ hike. I was out for over 3 hours and my garmin lost it's signal due to the canyon's and stuff. I ended up taking my cousins dog a 2 year old lab. It was a lot of work trying to keep him with my on the bike and riding with one hand. Then once we started hiking he was pretty good. By the time I got the poor guy home he was trashed. Still the morning after he hasn't come out of his house yet. Poor Jetter! We didn't find any spanish gold or even any real indina artifacts. There was a small amount of potery and some chips made from making arrowheads. Our coolest find was a massive pectrified (sp?) tree laying in this was. We were miles from anyone and I dout it's ever been found before. Even if it was due to the area there is no way someone could haul it out. It was really cool. In all my exploring I've never seen such a massive amount of prehistoric wood laying together.
