Well first day back in Tucson.It is hot (90's at 7-8 am). It apparently hasn't rained quite a bit as well. I was going to run up wasson peak but found that all the roads to get to it are washed out from the monsoons. I decided to just run some of the trails in saguaro park that I haven't tried before. It was a great run until I found a rattle snake on the single track trail and almost stepped on him. When I threw rocks at him to get him off of the trail he didn't even rattle which was a little disturbing. I then got off the trail and a little lost and had to bushwhack back to the trail. I was kind of nervous going off trail since I knew there were rattlers out here. So I went really slow til I got back to the trail. I think I am going to have to lay off the trail runs until the snakes go back into hibernation.
