pm--7 Anasazi w/ a loop and Cholla. I went in the afternoon when it was supposedly 89 degrees. It didn't feel too bad. There was a breeze. I was thinking that, other than the vaccine for some loved ones, running in the dirt has brought more peace of mind during this pandemic than anything else. I'm grateful for health and where I live and an encouraging wife.

am--6.25 Anasazi to the homestead w/ Tom. Decided that Sanskrit might be a language to learn. The weather was beautiful.

pm--7 Anasazi w/ Cholla. Little slower today due to what I think is a bruised rib due to an awkward fall in a wiffle ball game last night. There is some ache at the edge of inhale and exhale.

pm--5 Mustang Pass w/ Beattie, talking about teaching and college running. My ribs are still pretty achy. This will probably be the norm for a few weeks. Running a bit slower seems to help.

pm--6.5 Front half of the Rim Trails from the bottom. The vehicle access to the trailhead is closed, so I hoofed it from the road. I love the desert after a rain. Hit 4K of vert for the 2nd month in a row. Not going to lie, the quads were a little tired today.

pm--6.75 Anasazi w/Cholla via Fishhook. It was pretty hot--mid-90s--and my body is pretty beat after a somewhat stressful week at school.
