A few days off from running...

Somehow I managed to not run for the last three days. I'm not totally sure why but it seems like that is just what happened. I wanted to run but didn't seem to find the time for anything more than a few miles so bailed day after day after day. I mostly worked a bunch the last few days which was probably the main contributor to not having time.

I did get to go play on Sunday with Susan down at West Clear Creek where we did a minor bit of running and then mostly walked and explored the serene creek and did a bit of swimming. It was in the 80's and perfect for swimming with deep, clear pools of water nestled within lush cottonwoods and picturesque sandstone ledges and cliffs. A great day of exploring and leisure!

I'll get some photos up of our day at West Clear Creek in a few...

I do want to start upping the miles in the next few weeks. I am hoping to be in the 80-100 mile a week range in much of June so time to get running... also, I am looking for some more fun long runs to go on... maybe start linking some long stuff on the mountain soon, run some more of the Arizona Trail and maybe do some links like Sedona to home, Mormon Lake to Home...hmmm, what else...

also...thought a lot about what it would be like to run the whole Tonto Trail in a day while running the Grandview, Tonto, S. Kaibab Loop last week...definitely on my mind now.
