Big Rock Runners

This is a short story on the adventures of your roving president and his beautiful wife.

It all started innocently enough with the idea that we would go for a nice short run out in the desert of Arizona. We started out in a state park called usary park that had what appeared to be a great 7.5mi. loop around Pass mountain, we started with great enthusiasm and gusto, for the day was bright and sunny but not to hot. The path was well worn and wide (to start) and looked like it would be a great run. As we started the path continued to shrink in width and become more rocky, which was fine we weren't in a hurry just out enjoying the run on a beautiful day, as we continued the path started to climb and become even more rocky and uneven, but being Big Rock Runners it didn't seem to be to much of a challenge so on we went climbing higher, jumping over rocks and boulders, dropping quickly into wash's and then back up to great veiws and vistas of the Sonoran desert and the Goldfield mountains. This fun short little run continued on this way for the whole run with one climb and descent of 500 ft.over the pass. The continual concentration and up down of this run ended up being quite exhausting and in the end this short 7.5 mile loop took us 2hrs to complete, but it was one of the best and most fun runs that we have done.

Happy running everyone

p.s I don't think this run will be in Runner's World as a rave run.
