Wow!  I was just supposed to cross-train an hour today, but I jogged to and from a 5k event, I ran the 5k, and then I went hiking for like 5 hours!

My favorite running buddy, Duane Brickner, and I were met by our new running buddy, Richie Laser, and we did the 5k together.  I even won a door prize, but I’d rather place in my age category.  Duane placed 4th, but there was no prize for 4th.

My husband and I hiked in the Superstition Wilderness, to Tortilla Ranch and onto the Peters’ trail about a half-mile, but it was far too overgrown with cats’ claw to have much success.  On the way back we saw a tarantula and got some photos and a little movie.  (Select ‘download the movie’ when you get to the page.)
