7.5 miles on the canal road, up Perry Canyon (north swithbacks) to the Upper Bench. Caught a toe on a rock and fell, cutting my fingers, hand, arm, and leg. Nobody was around, so I layed there on the ground for awhile. Nice run, saw 11 lizards and a hummingbird that liked my orange bandana.

5 miles in the Wellsville Mountains. Deweyville, up Maple Canyon past Chocolate Peak towards Mendon Peak. Massive cardio.

21.31 miles in the Wellsville Mountains (26+ miles between Thursday and Friday with 6000' elevation gain and loss). Summited Mendon Peak and Scout Peak. Knee feels great. I felt great...except for when the sage brush root grabbed me and threw me to the ground. That kind of hurt.
