I'm in my hometown for a few days and went out for an early morning run. The sun was just over the mountaintops but not too hot yet. The wind was almost nonexistent, which meant the view across the basin was clear and crisp. I ran 6 miles with a lot of variety.
The initial stretch was on the road for about 1.8 miles, and then up the path by a large drainage culvert. I took that as far as I could and then turned around. About halfway back I branched off over the ditch and into the foothills. I followed a washed out road into a canyon, which was partly shaded from the rising sun. When the path came to a sharp downhill I turned back and got back to the road with less than a mile to go for my goal, so I retraced part of the road route to finish. I felt the higher elevation a few times, especially on the uphills, but all in all a good run. I needed it with all the Mexican food I've been eating.
