74F, 95%. Got in 10 this morning which I guess is my new long run. I tried to pick it up for the last 3 but motivation was lacking. I guess I didn't really try. But I tried to try.
Headed to Barstow, CA for work today for a couple weeks. Actually, for being in the middle of the Mojave desert, their mornings are somewhat cool (they're in the "high desert.") I don't know what kind of running I'll be able to fit in though, hopefully something. |

| 68F, 34%! First run in Barstow - such a nice cool, dry morning. Hard to believe it'll be 102 degrees later. |

| 70F, 27%. Low humidity is awesome. 6 easy miles. I saw a little mountain that I can get to through an unused RV park out in the middle of nowhere. It has ATV tracks going up so it should be pretty runnable. Think I will run up there and give it a shot tomorrow. | |

71F, 30%. Pretty good run. I got up early and ran down to the "off-highway parking area." I actually did see 1 RV parked there today. It was about 3 miles to get there via road, then I hit the desert. Fortunately it wasn't all soft sand. Once I got to the mountain I wanted to climb, it was a little rockier. I tried to run it all but there were parts where it just seemed faster to hike, so I did. Never had to use my hands, it wasn't that steep. Got to the top after about a half mile and stopped to enjoy the view for 2-3 minutes...and catch my breath. I saw a much higher mountain a couple miles away on the backside of this one, but couldn't see any trails going up....not like you really need them here, there are no trees or much vegetation to be seen. Then back down - had to take it slow in some spots. It wasn't much of a mountain but it was fun. I looked at a topo chart and the one I climbed is only 2900' at the top; for reference, my hotel is at 2400. The other hill I saw to the south is 3500' so I'll give that one a shot later. I'm sure if I drive around I could find much higher mountains but I prefer to just see what I can get to from the hotel.
On the way back I actually picked it up for the last 3 miles - 6:31 downhill, 6:35 flat, 6:52 uphill. Not too bad for the shape I'm in.

| 66F, 23%. Another beautiful morning in the Mojave. This place isn't too bad for running (as long as you don't like running in the afternoons), I could get used to this. Kept it short and easy today, planning another desert mountain adventure tomorrow morning. | |

61F, 39%. I ran out of time and didn't make it to the peak of the mountain I had my eye on, had to turn back so I wouldn't be late for work. It was pretty slow going this time after about a mile of desert floor. Only 4-4.5 of the miles were road this time, lots of climbing and stuff. Really fun run though, and I think I know a better avenue of approach for next time, so hopefully I will get a slow day next week where I can give it a shot.
Finished up with a couple 6:40's on the road on the way back. |
