Our last day at Arches. I finally got up early enough to take a run although not as long as I would have liked. It was a little cold but a sunny gorgeous morning with the long shadows coming off the red rock spires. There was no traffic out yet either [I think I only passed 2 or 3 cars]. I went 5 miles at 8:06 pace. I would have loved to have gone farther but I was a bit short on time. I ran harder on the last quarter mile uphill to camp at around 7:30 pace.
We did a lot more hiking today totaling about 9 miles. I ended up with some sore muscles in my arms and shoulders from all the rock climbing on the trip. I also did a 3 1/2 mile bike ride. |
