05-24-2015 Run

Solo run in the morning while staying at Fellowship Camp in Wrightwood.  I had ridden with Dave Little on the previous day but my legs were feeling fine.  I headed down to Linnet Rd and then east to Lone Pine Canyon Rd for a short time until I got onto Thrush Rd until I got to Sheep Creek Dr.  At this point, the route started to climb.  I turned on Lone Pine Canyon Rd again and headed out through Pinon Hills for about a mile and a half, then the road headed downhill.  I took it down for about 0.7 mi before stopping and turning around to run back up.  It was a real challenging stretch.  I stayed on Lone Pine Canyon Rd back to Heath Creek Dr, taking it back to Thrush Rd and staying on this road until Oak St, which I used to get over to Linnet Rd.  From there I retraced my route.  The last stretch was uphill for about a mile at an average 5% grade, and I was really slow in a couple of places but finished strong.  This was the first time in a very long time that I ran more than 6 miles.

Total time = 50:10
Total distance = 6.09 mi
Total elevation gain = 780'
