Run around Prescott Adventure Run 50K

 Hey everyone!  2 weeks after my last race in Flagstaff I felt great, so I decided to do another Ultra on my own in Prescott on October 2, 2021.  Why not!  I basically did the same route I did last year which started near Granite Mountain and ran 32 miles entirely on the Circle Trail and finished right at our home in Prescott!  What a great run it was indeed!

The run took me 8 hours and 40 minutes with a very nice nice 1/2 hour lunch stop with my wife Lori and Sunny where the trail meets Copper Basin road.  I did manage to do some "bonus mileage" by not looking where I was going and ended up on a trail I didn't know!  Oh well, no biggie.  I managed to take some pictures and listened to some great music and podcasts on my air pods too so I really enjoyed the day

Our dog Sunny managed to get away from Lori when she dropped me off at the trailhead and he caught up with me within the first 1/3 of a mile into the run.  I had to run him back to Lori at the trailhead.  No biggie, just caulk it up with "bonus mileage"!  The day turned out to be just perfect running conditions the entire day too..  Such a great day overall.  I did managed to trip and fall just as I was about to get to White Spar trailhead.  I got scraped up and some blood was spewed, but, again, thems the breaks!

Lori and Sunny met me yet again about 1 mile from our house and we all ran back together on Old Senator road.  What a great day.  Thank you yet again, Lori for helping me as always!
