I went for a trail Run today. I enjoy running on trails because it is like a high speed hike. I get to see more scenery in less time, and I get a good hard workout. The trails are also easier on my joints than pavement.
Last year the county built some trails in the Tucson mountains. The trail system is called the Sweetwater trails. This is my favorite trail system for runs and mountain bike rides. They may not be the best trails, but they are close and relatively moderate. The scenery is beautiful if you ignore the houses you can occasionally see. The trails are not officially open yet. Everyone that I have run into on them has been friendly. They will always stop and talk, mostly about the trail. We all agree that we wish no one else would find out about it. It will be a shame if it gets really crowded and trashy.
Just a couple of pictures from Sweetwater. A crested saguaro and a really handsome trail runner.

Search and rescue will always be able to find you if you keep wearing those red shoes.
I usually let Amy know where they can find the body if for some reason I don't show up back home. The red shoes are just a courtesy so SAR won't have to search so hard.
New trails... I miss it. I'm sick of snow
I told you not to move. Just move back. We can be in hiking shape in a few weeks. Maybe you can help me get Brett out too.
