Monday, 7/9/12- Had to remove myself from the mess that is unpacking and biked to the top of Park Street (500ft climb in less than 1/2mi--supposedly Ashland's steepest street) and hiked to the White Rabbit trailhead and back. Biked home. 2hr outing. Hot.
Tuesday, 7/10/12- Jess and I drove up to the White Rabbit trailhead and ran down Alice and Wonderland to Ashland Loop Road and back. I continued up ALR to round off my running time, which has escaped me. We were out for probably less than 1hr.
Wednesday, 7/11/12- 31min run to and around Lithia Park with Jess. Cooled off in Ashland Creek afterwards. Walked home.
Thursday, 7/12/12- nothing
Friday, 7/13/12- Drove up to Mount Ashland and then over to the Grouse Gap Shelter, not too far from the trailhead. 35min run plus a good ~1:30 hike on the Pacific Crest Trail. Wow, what a trail. Imagine endless carpeted single-track. The running here is ridiculous.
Saturday, 7/14/12- 2:20 hike from Four Corners to Mt. Ashland Lodge (some brief stopping for water and at the Bull Gap trailhead to consult a trail map). ~8mi and 2,200ft of total elevation gain. Helped bring in runners doing the Siskiyou Out-and-Back (SOB) 50 miler, 50k, and 15k. Congrats to Joe on finishing his first 50 miler in a respectable 10:xx. Crazy. Oh, and Jenn Shelton (professional ultrarunner and featured in "Born to Run"), Erik Skaggs (ridiculously good runner), and Timothy Olson (winner of this year's The Western States) were there. They all live and train here in Ashland.
