Trails, Trails, and More HOT Trails

 It's been super hot here all week, like mid 90's. I've managed 2 runs, both just shy of 4. Pretty pitiful, but beautiful.  You guys know I don't do well in the heat, but it felt good to get out and get moving again.  The trails look so different now than a few months ago when I was training for Way Too Cool. There's so much grass! Which is pretty, but does make it hard to see the trail very far ahead of you, and the snakes are back out.  So it can be tricky.  Anyhow, here's a few pictures for you from this week.-

 California Poppies and Mustard covers a large part of the Mountain right now.

 I was really cooking in the above picture, starting up the last big climb to get back to the car.
