Just did a couple of miles tonight to loosen up after the race. I did it with my brother in law, but he mostly walked. It had some steep hills which I am not used to but I felt pretty good and was able to loosen up quickly.

Wanted to go running today, and was hoping to go for a longer run. However, my flight was delayed and I didn't have much time after i landed before I had to be to work. I did get to go out on some trails I ran through saguaro NP right by my house. There was a nice little hill on the run. They have also cleaned up the trail a lot since I last did it. Boy it was hot though I think it was high 80's today. I don't know what I am going to do this summer.

Did a nice trail run today after work. I wanted to go farther but it was on trails I have never run on before and it was getting pretty dark so I decided I better go back instead of get lost in the desert. It is a lot slower for me to go on trails. I am going to need to get used to that. The majority of this run was through dry stream beds and had a lot of loose sand. It was a beautiful evening though.

Quick run this AM. It was pretty windy. I think that was part of the slow down for the first 2 miles.

This was a fun "run". I did the flag rock run with my brother the MrK. I said quote run because I walked about 3/4 of the uphill portion if not more. It was a hard run. I wish I lived up there to be able to get more elevation training. It doesn't seem like we have anything like that here in Tucson. I love doing trails. However, it is different than running on roads.
