Dillard Ridgeline + Baldy picnic with CA

September 8, 2015 (Night)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: BEAUTIFUL (a little hazy, but perfectly dry and nice)

Comments:
Lewis had a blood drive hunt planned for tonight: meeting at Alton Baker, and running all the way to SPFD to Hop Valley, where you'd donate blood in a trailer, then get a pint afterward. CA and I didn't want to do that, pre-MRTR (nor did we want to be "stuck" out at Hop Valley for that donation time) so we bowed out, entirely.

Since she'd been pretty stressed, I figured it'd be fun to do a "special run", so we drove up to the upper parking lot of Mt Baldy (about 66% of the way into our climb repeats) and ran from there...then "picnic'd" at the top of Baldy!

EASY run from the lot, down Dillard road to the start of the Ridgeline trail, then did the "Dillard loop", which is about two miles, then ran the road back. Did x4 sloped strides near the lot (nothing flat up there), then filled the backpack up with stuff and hiked to the top of Baldy. We got there just as Jordan Macnamara and his "new honey" (just got divorced, I guess!) were leaving.

Sat up there and ate salad and had a beer, watching the sunset. It was cool and breezy! I forgot a few sandwich items, so we packed up and finished dinner at home.

FUN. :-)
