Guindani Trail

I went to a pretty lame job fair in Sierra Vista this morning. On the way back I went to Kartchner caverns park and ran a trail. It was a 4.2 mile loop mostly outside of the park on the west end in the Whetstone mountains. The trail had about 900 feet vertical change and that combined with the 4800 foot elevation made the going pretty tough for me, but it was very scenic out there.

Lakeshore Bridge and Studio yoga

After lunch today ran down the canal to the bridge and back, 3.43 miles. It was hot, my heart rate soared and my body temp was thru the roof, kick ass. The evening went to a Marco class, went great, had a nice chat with KJ after.

Gym and Studio yoga

While Jordan was at football today, I put in an hour at the gym. Lifted weights, did some yoga, sun salutations. A couple hours later went to a studio class with Karen. Went very well considering I am only doing hot yoga once a week now.

Walmart and LAF yoga

This afternoon during football I ran thru neighborhoods to Walmart and back. Talked to the wife for 5 mins while she worked, about 5 miles. This evening went to Taylors class. The instructor from the previous class came in when it was supposed to start and said that she had a seizure and they might send a substitute. Almost everyone left, I did about 45 minutes of yoga on my own and left. A few other people did the same, worked up a good sweat. I hope she is going to be OK.

This morning ran a route on the back side of south mountain. From a trailhead on Warpaint in Ahwatukee near Knox, ran up the trail to Desert Classic trail, went left for a bit until I found a sign that said Corona de Loma. Took that branch up the mountain all the way to the top; hot, steep and rocky. Great views from up there, over a 1000 feet climb, came back the same way. About 6 miles.

West-East loop

This morning went to South Mountain with Jordan. Ran the West to East loop. He faded after a short way, walked and ran the majority. He did good tho, about 3 miles.
