Well, seeing as this is the first day I'll be posting on here, we'll effectively call this Day 1 of training for our grand, Grand Canyon hike this fall. Woke up this morning perhaps a little later than we should have (for training in late June in Phoenix) and headed over to the mountain preserves at the end of 40th Street for a little jaunt through the hills. At 102 degrees it was warmish, but we still managed to squeeze out a 5+ mile loop around Squaw Peak and about half way up at an average speed of 3 miles an hour. All in all, I would say it was a fairly good workout, with only a few pauses here and there.
Not bad for Day 1...
Tomorrow, our workout will feature a run through the neighborhood and a few reasons why I'm hiking for Chuka. Stay tuned.
Note for future training: when running/hiking in early Summer, remember to bring along a change of clothes so you don't have put your shirt on backwards to dry by car air conditioning on your way to an appointment. *Sigh*
