I'm in the "something is better than nothing" mode with these higher temperatures and humdity

. But I did manage to get up early to Echo's (Alexa's sister) weather report of 76 and 50% humidity.

I parked below the TH and headed uphill to hike clockwise. Legs were gonna struggle today; sometimes they do that. Fortunately I finished strong. There was a slight breeze as I rounded the east side and then some shade on the trail where it tucks in closer to the mountain. Quite a few people and dogs out this morning. West side had some shade and a hefty breeze which I so appreciate. I finished it off by doing the little hill back to the main TH and then down the hill to Tonto.

Saw a rabbit, many birds and a lizard. Saguaros all had some blooms and the creosote had its mixture of flowers and cotton ball blooms.

WATCH 6:55-8:01AM, 2.94 miles, 1467-1689 elevation. 131 avg bpm/150 max (good avg). 29% Zone 5 max, 49% Zone 4 anaerobic, 23% Zone 5 aerobic burning 433 calories. Starting temp 77 (ending 82) sunny and 46% humidity.

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.
