Wanted to go up Wasson this AM. Unfortunately forgot my watch and had to go back home and get it so didn't have time. Ran up the dirt road to the TH.

Finally made it back to Wasson peak. I haven't done it since early August. the trail was a little overgrown. The monsoons have been wicked here. the run was nice though and I was fairly quick not much resting and ran nearly the whole way up walking every other switchback to the saddle and then to the peak. about 7 minutes off of my fastest time.

Did Tumoamoc hill a couple of times this AM. I was able to run the whole way up for the first time on my first trip. the second trip up was slower.

Wade road. It was slower than usual and had a real hard time getting going. I think the hills of the prior 2 days wore me out.

First time running in the tortolitas. Man I have been missing out the whole time we lived here/ The trails are great, well maintained and very runnable. I will be back here again. I did fall once fairly hard. It was the first tiem of the year.
