M Run - Catalina Fire Road - July 11

Out and back on the fire road, up from the golf course to the campground and back. Just wanted to do a negative split, spent a little time scouting a good spot for an ammocan drop later this week and taking in the views from the canyon points. 31 minutes out and up, 28 minutes back with a detour to take the (longer) high road.

Beautiful day. 75 and puff-cloudy with a humid edge. Just when you needed it most, a breeze would drift by with that chill nip to it. Running here is a powerful sensory experience - among the eucalyptus and mesquite, wild dill and oaks, this could be Africa, it could be Australia. Came across a doe and three fawn, a lizard, velvet ants, quail, and someone inside me who wanted to run hard.

6 + 2 hours/24 hours. 59 minutes total, PE: 8. 218/14.
