First 4 miler ever.  I drove to the canals so I could run on dirt and was sad to see that they have turned it into concrete.  The other side of the canal was already paved.  There was still some dirt to run on, but it wasn't very level and was often filled with tire ruts or was overly soft from the construction of the concrete path.  They probably thought they were doing such a nice thing to "improve" things for the runners.  Started running at 5:45 Just wanted to go slow and get the miles in.   Very satisfying to be done with my run as on my drive home I saw a myriad of people getting their exercise in as it started to warm up from cool 88 degrees I got to run in.

Little Old Lady! Stupid public works! But great job on the 4! I run up Usery Pass with a couple of guys this morning. We saw the East Valley Runners heading up as we were heading down. I knew they were going to get some sun on their way down. Suckers.
