AM: 7 - Deer Fence South to beyond Millville Canyon.  Felt pretty decent all things considered.  Didn't push too hard, but kept it honest.

T-59:20 (8:29) 800' vert

PM: 15.5 - First Dam - Wind caves trail - Beirdneau Trail - Green - BST - Loop.  Family was still gone so figured why not?  It was 98 degrees at the start.  Yuck.  My first mile (pretty flat)  was 9 mins and things didn't get much better.  It was slow and painful.  I forget how awful that trail is above Wind Caves.  Climbs 2K feet in 3 miles with hardly a trail for 2 of the miles.  Kept an eye out for rattlers.  Thankfully, didn't see any.  Not much fun "running" up that trail.  Luckily coming down the other side makes up for it.  Gonna take it easy now.  Maybe I will ride my bike tomorrow and give my body a rest.  It needs it.

Took it easy today due to time constraints and energy constraints.  Rode the bike for 45 mins up to near Providence Star.

Logan Peak (9710') - Providence Peak (9598') - Little Baldy (8763')

Final big workout before Speedgoat.  Figured I could run some hills and tag some peaks all at the same time.  Ended up bushwhacking for an hour.  What a mess.

Route was up dry canyon left onto connector to North Syncline until I hit the spring.  Dipped my shirt and hat and filled up.  Retraced my steps until I hit the connector trail that goes straight up to Logan Peak.  On Google Earth, the trail is clearly visible.  I guess it hasn't been used in a few years.  I was getting off trail every 50 feet.  After a while, I got frustrated and gave up only to stumble on the trail heading back down.  I gave it another go, but was soon bushwhacking again.  I decided to just head to the ridge and guess what I found, the trail.  For a bit.

Eventually I made it to Logan Peak tagged the tower and rushed over to Providence Peak.  Big dark clouds were looming and it was getting really late.  I figured I had 1 hour to get down in daylight.  I moved as quick as I could along the ridge to Little Baldy.  There was a trail for a while.  Then more bushwhacking ensued.  I almost cried for joy when I hit the South Syncline trail.  Now racing the sunset I headed back to dry canyon and down it back to the car.  Quite the link-up but I will probably not do that again until snowshoe season as the trail stinks.

Richards Hollow 13.5 - 

Starting my taper today for Speedgoat 50K.  Shaved a good hour or two off my typical long run.  Still managed to see a biker, motorcycler, 2 horses (and their riders), 100+ sheep and one angry bee (my eyebrow is still swollen).
