37.74 miles, 2749 calories!

Nope, those aren't the statistics from my run. They're the combination of the run AND the bike ride I took today. The run was 2 hours (and one second!), 11 miles, and 1626 calories. From that you can figure out the bike ride (which took 2 hours, 58 minutes, and 44 seconds).

I had another great night-to-sunup run in some of the the hilliest parts of the McDowell Mountain Ranch. It's great when it's 75 degrees and no shirt is required!

Then for my bike ride I went down to the Camelback Mountain area of Paradise Valley which was an additional extreme uphill cardiovascular workout (but the downhill return was REALLY fun!) This time I discovered the eastern approach to the trail up Camelback Mountain. I don't know if it's rideable by bike (I doubt it) but I'm definitely going to be returning to attempt a hike up that trail sometime in the near future - and when I do, you can be sure you'll be able to read all about it here first.

But for now, my energy supply is temporarily depleted. So....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
