I went for a run this morning on Mingus..or was that a swim?
Good thing I had my water wings.
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own
understanding. Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your
paths straight."

Unfortunately, I will be in southern calif or I would try the 2 mile
fun run. I have done significant marathon training there. I can
pretty safely say - there are no good options and I love Groom Creek.
If you go the half marathon course - you would have to go into
Ponderosa Park and a brutal return. Very tough.
If you go towards Crown King on Senator Highway- about 4 miles onto the
dirt it starts to get rocky, twisty and tough.
If you run towards town on Senator Highway you get squeezed in spots
where the shoulder is nearly zero. I have done this many times and
would not recommend it.
If it were me and I am glad it is not based on my current fitness level
- I would run straight out Senator Hwy onto the dirt road (past the 10k
course turnaround). Turn left onto Walker Road. Run past Hassayampa
Lake, run into Potato Patch and Walker, clock the miles and if you
don't get enough when you return to Senator hwys dirt road, turn left
and go further out Senator past the water falls and hopefully you can
turn around before it gets kinda nasty. This will be a very very
scenic run. Tough. No doubt my name will be mentioned in a
non-complimentary way if you do this.
Cindy, Brooke, Len and did most of this one day and we had a blast.

Ok folks,
It is time to reassemble at the ol' stomping grounds this Sunday the
27th for some miles up in the mountains. Some of us will be doing
the
10K and some of us will be trying for 20. Start time is 9am at the
Groom Creek Fire Station.
PS - for those of you that have accumulated long runs up in that
neighborhood, we are open to some suggestions.
:) Cheers,
Jessica L.
