I had not run on Friday or Saturday, so I was at least rested for a longer outing on Sunday. Due to the recent weather pattern (i.e. rain starting at 11 AM), a high peaks outing seemed risky, unless it was super early and I'm not good at early. Instead of high, exposed passes, I opted for lower altitudes.
I keep seeing a vine that looks like hops, and finally I looked it up online.
Yep, it's hops, but not necessarily of the brewable variety.
Distance was 22.37 miles, time 5:17 (moving 4:21), elevation gain/loss 2,235 feet, avg. pace 14:12 (moving 11:42), and best pace 7:33.
