Running (Trail) 5:00:00 [3] 27.57 km (10:53 / km) +996m 9:13 / km
slept:8.5 shoes: Salomon Speedcross Pro - Blue
Browner, Mrs. Gally, Dee and I are in Tucson for a training week, and I was excited to learn that Cristina, Melissa and Lukas would be here too! Cristina offered us a guided tour of the Bear Canyon Loop - a Tucson classic.
We had a spectacular day for it although later on it got a little warm for our Canadian blood. This was a hike/run since most of us needed a relatively easy effort today.
Right off the top, Cristina found the tourists a javelina - not *this* one but our javelina kept hiding behind a cactus so my photos aren’t great.
We had to negotiate a number of tricky creek crossings. (The desert is easier than the Snowshoe Raid.)
Bear Canyon was jaw dropping.
When we’d climbed high enough, we had great views back toward Tucson.
Along the way, Cristina shared interesting snippets of local knowledge and taught us the names of some plants.
We took a break at a high viewpoint for photos and yoga led by Mrs. Gally.
Then we continued running - more downhill now.
Finally we arrived at the end of Sabino Canyon and dropped into it.
On the way out, we successfully crossed several Hazardous Bridges.
Luckily, Mrs. Gally didn’t learn about the local mountain lion until the end.
Thank you, Cristina! This was an incredible day.

Power Yoga 35:00 [1]
Mrs. Gally is a talented yoga teacher working toward her full certification. We had an awesome impromptu class in the courtyard of our hotel. I took a break in the middle to meet Lukas (AP name Haakon) at last. He’s adorable!! Nice to see Melissa for the first time since Norway. :)
