A Little Muddy on the Mesa

49 minutes
easy pace
5:20pm - cloudy, cool, just after a little rain shower - usual route home from work via the Mesa Trail - a rain shower had just passed through as I headed out - wet everywhere - it really smelled like spring out there, and those plum blossoms are still smelling great - not as muddy as I thought it would be, but I did not run Yuri Pass today (that trail has very clayey soil that sticks to your shoes - didn't want to carry ten pounds of mud along with me) - saw a small group of mule deer on the grassy slope south of Bear Canyon Creek and fire road - felt pretty tired today.
