Sun 7/29 - AM 1:45 hilly trail run in Sedona.

Started in Wilson canyon, Jim Thompson trail to Cibola Pass, Soldier's Pass and Brins Mesa and back on the "JT." Trails were described in the map as "moderate" or "easy" and overall distance of the run around 11 miles, but neither of these descriptions take into account the fact that there was no more than 50m of straight flat ground the entire run. Climb up Soldier's Pass was particularly strenuous and momentarily reduced me to a walk. Legs rubbery after an hour, spent a lot of time slipping and sliding on loose rocks in the trail. Spectacular scenery all about only partially makes up for this. Finished feeling both tired and ticked off. Fucking map.

In the PM, I skipped doing any running and instead went back to Sedona for a hike up to Cathedral rock for views that can only be described as stupendous.
