Dare to be great!

Started at the rodeo grounds and ran up the canyon road to monrovian park then hit the trail along the creek unti I would of had to cross the creek at about 4 miles so I headed back down.  The climb felt really good.  After the first mile coming down in the low 7min pace my feet started to hurt some on the pavement so I backed off and just cruised down a bit slower.  Felt good to get some miles in this morning and beat the storm which is forcasted later today.

Woke up after hearing the wind all night expecting snow, looked outside and appeared to be just wet from rain.  I got dressed and got the dog and drove to the dirt road out of Bishops wanting to do a six miler there.  Got outside my vehicle and felt the freezing wind and got back in and went home.  Dog was confused and my weak and pathetic performance so I took her for a half mile run around the neighborhood.  I have been feeling some twinges in my feet and left calf so I decided to get a workout in at the Sheriff's Office gym during lunch without the impact of a run.  Did 10 min. elliptical, 10 min. bike, 10 min row, 10 min. elliptical, and another 10 min. on the bike.  Did some weights between stations.  

Met Shane Harrison in Richfield.  He wanted to run Flat Canyon and link in past dairy fork to the CC trail.  He remembered mountian biking the trail 25 years ago.  It was actually a really nice trail, some mountain and dirt bikers were seen.  Explored a short slot canyon on the way up the finished the route.  Legs felt pretty good, I will probably hit the trail regularly as it has a lot of training options with climbs, flats, and smoother trails.
