- Two rounds, to warm up: jump-rope singles x 100 / stair-climbs x 3.

- Cool down: three laps around the gym and stretching.

Out and back jog at Hidden Mesa. Went around the outer rim trail (saw two stray goats, a mama and a baby; called animal control when I got home), then down the side of the mesa to the junction with the Cherry Creek trail. It was fairly hot, and getting down to the Cherry Creek trail was farther than I remembered. So, once I turned around, my plan was to run until I hit 60 minutes and then walk the rest of the way. I was hoping 60 minutes would elapse before I got to the steep uphill section, but no such luck... On the bright side, it rained lightly while I was getting up that section, and I didn't have to walk any of it.

Hit 59:something a bit past the end of the steep section, at the trail junction. I rested there for about three minutes while I debated whether to take the short trail back (0.7) or the rim trail (1.8). Decided on the longer option, ran for another 10 minutes, then walked the rest of the way -- except for the last quarter mile or so, which I ran again after the thunderstorm and hail started to unload on me...
