Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 95 and sunny

Comments:
My first time running in the LA region. Headed out of the hotel around 5pm and it was still in the mid 90s and sunny. meandered north through neighborhoods enjoying the sporadic tree shadows until I hit the end of a neighborhood up against a freeway. Redirected and was able to cross the freeway and reach the base of the ridge of mountains which rise dramatically to the north of Claremont, CA. Took five steps up the steep hill and, by design, ran back down and along the creek-side trail for half a mile eastward. At the next road, I returned south and downslope along Indian Hill Rd to the hotel. Was hot and lethargic on the slight climb for the first 3 miles and moved quicker and still with tired legs for the final down-slope mile. A dip in the warm pool afterwards was still appreciated.
