Mon 2/26 - 80 minutes, Sonoita Creek. Hillier than expected getting into and back out of the creek itself. Followed up the run with a hike that probably covered more distance than the run.
Tue 2/27 - PM 25 minutes very easy errand run to the local Safeway and back. Very tired.
Wed 2/28 - rainy garbage
Thu 3/1 - AM 65 minutes, Douglas Springs trail. Mostly uphill to a point somewhere beyond the Bridal Wreath falls trail junction, then backtracked to the falls and hiked down with the CH. A solid effort to be sure. Yesterday's cold and rainy mess replaced by sunny warm conditions.
Fri 3/2 - PM 50 minutes, A mountain. Spent much of the morning and early afternoon hiking in Aravaipa creek, a pleasant and cool experience although it left the shoes surprisingly full of sand.
Sat 3/3 - AM 4 hours up and back along the Tanque Verde trail in Saguaro NP. Thinking I might head to the summit but the extra $10 it would have cost to drive to the trailhead vs. get there on foot, along with a 10 AM start put paid to that idea. As it was I got as far as Juniper Basin which was high enough to see snow left over from Wednesday's weather. The trip up was just as obnoxious as I had remembered with the various false summits and rollercoaster stuff once above the steep climb out of the bajada. Took a good long break, nearly 30 minutes, before heading down. The trip down was not my finest effort, threw in some walking breaks thanks to rubbery legs and general fatigue. Plenty warm at the bottom of the hill. No gila monster sightings this time.
Sun 3/4 - off, travel back home which took all the live long day. Worth it for the time spent in a warm and mostly dry climate.
