Very hot in Phoenix now - 110 was the high yesterday, and about 105 today. I put in a 50-minute run/walk today in the early afternoon & didn't even encounter anyone on the concrete running path! LOL. I like when I have the place all to myself! There were a few cars in the parking lot, but I guess those people were out on the hiking trails perhaps; and I did see one mountain biker.

I also saw about half a dozen baby Quail running behind their mother as they crossed the concrete path in front of me. That's one of the nice sightings during the middle of summer at Dreamy Draw - always lots of baby Quail around.

**this short video clip I took a couple of weekends ago shows the area around the "ranger station" which is basically just a supply shed I think, LOL.

Yesterday was quite cool for this time of year - about 85 and we even had a touch of rain in the morning in Phoenix. After the brief rain let up and the sky cleared it was surprisingly cool, and not really very humid.

Today also was about 10 degrees cooler than usual this time of year, 92 today. And today we had a very nice blue sky with puffy white clouds. It was a good day to take some video of Dreamy Draw, which is exactly what I did. You can find one of them attached to this blog entry. I'll add others on future entries.

I put in a 45-minute run/walk on Saturday & about an hour of walking today.

Very warm today - 107 was the high. I went for about a 50-minute run starting at about mid-day and the temp at that time was about 100. Good workout though! Only a handful of cars in the parking lot, and even fewer people found on the main concrete running path, which I like!
