Seeking a better country...

9 p.m.  Out and back from Marriot Mountainside to the Canyons.  The part by the creek was VERY buggy. 

I was considering running the two guardsman pass legs.  But it was smoky and hot, and I didn't want to waste the gas.  Instead of getting up at 6, I slept till 8:30 and didn't run at all.

I'm not sure about logging these miles.  Hiking miles?  I spent Wed and Thu escorting young men on a 6 mile hike.  The miles included a bit of running, but mostly walking.  Garbage miles, to be sure.  I wore a nasty blister on quarter toe, which beats morton by a long way.  Without the miles, my week looks like garbage, so up they go.

Same as yesterday.

6:15 a.m.  It was cool, which was a nice surprise.  Ash came with to Freedom hills.  I did a few laps while she played.  I found a tennis ball, and we ended up playing catch on the field for 20 minutes.  On the way home we stopped at Maverick to get her an ice cream cone.  She couldn't hold it and pedal her bike, so I carried the dripping cone for a few blocks till we reached the bottom of the street.  She ate it on the way up so her sister wouldn't get jealous.  3 ladies in workout gear saw me carrying ice cream while running.  They may take up the sport.
