Running 1:22:47 [2]
Gotta absorb all my time in the mountains, so after a waffle breakfast thanks to the new waffle maker, a mocha at Kickstand, and then morning errands, went out to nearby Elden for a mountain trail run. It's just so wonderful to run here!
Saw 3 hikers, 3 mountain bikers for the whole 8-ish mile loop. Wonderful views from both Sunset Ridge and later of the San Francisco Peaks to the north.

Hiking 1:46:24 [1] 4.55 mi (23:23 / mi) +816m 15:01 / mi
Training hike up Kendrick Mountain with Tom. We wore our backpacking packs, used our new hiking poles and carried as much water as we'll be required to on our trip next weekend (2 gallons). Tom also carried a tent and I carried a stove.
The drive out there was 6 miles of rugged forest roads at the end, the biggest problem was trying to see the potholes in the dappled light. Cynthia, my Honda Insight, did well enough, just have to go slower than the Jeeps and such.
The trail was amazingly well-groomed and just at a constant easy grade. Several early people were running it - it would be a lovely run to do.
An old cabin at a saddle along the ridgeline was very cute. It's the old lodging for the fire ranger (there is still a fire tower, but only used during fire season, so closed today) and is apparently on the National Register for Historic places. Much of the mountain burned in 2000, but they saved the cabin by wrapping it in fire-redardant fabric.
We totally cruised on the way down - sub-20 hiking miles are good!

Running 50:15 [1] 5.09 mi (9:52 / mi) +163m 8:59 / mi
Friday morning putter around - tried a loop that involved going past the dormitory for the reservation kids so they can come and go to highschool in town here. It looks fenced off, but there's a public road that goes through, so jogged on that. Up to the Mesa on dirt roads, then forest road and trail back home. Would be a nice loop if the dirt road wasn't actually used by cars, but they kick up so much dust, it's not fun to breathe after they come by. So probably not a new route...
