morning - 18.5 Little Black Mt.  Headed out on the AZ Strip again for a little run.  At first I was thinking 15, but ended up with a little more.  I wanted to find the old Jeep road that goes up the mountain, but I could find where it started, so I continued onward.  Instead of head to the petroglyphs, I went out to the power lines.  Looping around, I tried an off-beat trail that took me up to the face of some cliffs.  I was about to do a 15 ft. free climb to the top but didn't feel so great about it, so I worked my way off the steep hillside and tide up with another road.  I soon realized why I shouldn't have gone up the cliff - coming around a hill, a deep dry wash canyon made the cliff I was about to climb a huge finger; if I would have gone up, it would have added probably another 10 miles to the run to get around the canyon, or I would have had to rock climb back down the cliff face (either would have sucked - and I was happy I heeded the feeling).  Got back to the car and came home to take the dog around the block and work on sprinklers all day.  (Landreth 632.35)

Week went pretty good.  That lower ab pain has been coming back here and there for a couple weeks and yesterday set it off pretty strong, but today felt okay.

Goals for next week: Practice is starting up for real next week, so goal is to try to find the balance of time for my running and time for the team.

Landreth Miles: 18.50
