5 miles at dusk on the canal road to Sardine Canyon. My wife even ran part of it with me! When I got back I asked how she felt she did. Her reply "It's still not fun.". She admitted to covertly inserting running in her walking routine. Maybe someday I'll get her to agree to a 5k (hey, it could happen).

Early morning run up Three Mile Creek in Perry Canyon, then hit the switchbacks to the upper bench. While running I saw smoke coming from the next canyon ahead. I ran to it and saw flames, so I sprinted. Just as I rounded a bend in the trail where the fire was I scared the stuffing out a boy and his dad cooking their breakfast. They we camping there. I explained that I saw smoke and flame, but no people and came to put out the fire. They just looked at me like I was crazy so I excused myself and resumed running. Lots of hills, wildflowers and six creek crossings.
