First Run with a Friend
Back from my conference in Tucson, my family was out of town – so I had to take advantage of having free time to myself. Up till now I had only run solo. Even in Kearney on the streets – I may have run one time with my wife. My next door neighbor said he was up for a run, even though he runs full-on 100 mile ultras. He agreed to not make fun of my slow pace. I was also a bit concerned because my left ankle still hurt a bit. The ankle was tender, but didn’t cause much trouble.
Although he lives next door to me in Farmington, MVH had never been up the Davis Creek watershed much. So, I had fun showing him a few trails – he couldn’t believe he hadn’t run them before. We went up the main Davis Creek, over to Pretty Valley, and then across to the Ford Canyon Overlook and back.
4.7 miles @ 18:08 min/mile, 1,508 ft. elevation.

Seriously I was amazed that he hadn’t seen Davis Creek before. I love those trails! Have you been down the new little trail to the ‘Indian Baths’? And did you finally make it to see the petroglyphs?
Seriously – great trails up there. Especially when things level out a bit. Some steep climbs! No on Indian Baths or the Petroglyphs. I don’t think I have been back up there since we ran Steed. Shame on me.
