Headed out the door without a plan.  After 4 miles I came across a desert road and turned off the asphalt. Quickly the road turned into a small trail and then I was running through a wash with lots of rocks and uneven ground.  After a couple miles I found another old dirt road that went up and down washes.  Sometimes through the washes I had a hard time finding the road again.  I was having a good time exploring, but after 90 minutes, I decided I better turn around and head back.  Luckily I found a little better and shorter way of getting back.  

I finished having run 18.5 miles.  I'm guessing that wasn't the smartest thing to do since I haven't run more than 10 miles since April.  It was fun though.

Gotta love those serendipity run! Did you have fluid or fuel with you? Glad you made it home safe!

Thanks Andy, it was fun.

Smooth, I did take my fuel belt and a few Gu's. I figured I'd run long, I just didn't know how long or where I would run.
