Pray for Tucson
Pray for me
Pray these roads lead home and won't take us too far
- Dave Hause, Pray for Tucson

The stars were aligned and I managed to get up and go run the mountain this morning at 6:30. Well, there wasn't much running that went on but you know what I mean. It was a beautiful morning with a tiny bit of crispness in the air. Thank god fall is here at last. I really struggled and even thought about turning around on the way up, but I kept pushing and made it through. I was cursing myself for forgetting to grab something to eat before I went. But I made it to the top before the sun did. The sun was bright on the way down though, and I was out of water. Fortunately my hat acts as a sundial and rotates to keep the sun off of my face.
