CC Trail - Prospector. Went off the trail just before it goes back down into Coral Canyon and found that you can go under the freeway and hook onto the Prospector trail. Ran a ways up that then headed back. Glad I found that out as it will make for more variety for longer runs.
River Trail/Power Station tempo. A touch over 1.5 warmup and cool down. 5 mile tempo to the power station and back. Felt like a lot of work on the way out but coming back was better. 5:45,5:50,5:40,5:49,5:43
Perry Landing/Kiln/Grapevine. Started with the intention of going on the parkway to Greensprings but there was road const by perry landing so I turned up into there then headed back to the kiln then up grapevine to get a touch more miles. Ended up being further than I thought it would be.
Prospector/Cottonwood Canyon. Wanted to spend more time on the trails so I drove up to the trailhead instead of running up. Planned on just following Prospector till Red Cliffs or possibly into Silver Reef but saw another trail that headed north up a wash before getting to Red Cliffs so I took that route instead. Really pretty area. Once I got to where I turned around I was enjoying the view and feeling special about the fact that not many people see the area. Coming back down the wash I ran into three hikers with dogs and two families with young kids in backpacks heading up. I guess Im not near as special as I thought I was. Wiped out pretty good on the way back and got a few nice boo boos which helped injure my pride even more.
