Mt Whitney Zone Forums Trip Reports Quick trip to San Jacinto

Have a great time guys. I tried to arrange my schedule to be on San Jacinto tomorrow also....but my buddy has a light knee injury and we'll be back to the flats of the Santa Rosa Plateau tomorrow.

I did something yesterday that I haven't done in many, many years. I gave up running after my new hip, but in the last few weeks, I've been putting in some small runs of 2 to 4 miles to change things up between the gym and hikes. Yesterday, I did 7 miles!!!!

Now, if you guys saw me running with my pack, ripped up shorts, long sleeve shirt and flappy sun protection hat, you would probably laugh at me......I don't run fast or with any style at all.

I'm contemplating entering the "Run to the Top" at Mt Baldy on Sept 6th. I haven't run that one in over 11 years, and I hated it back then. But, even though it says Run to the Top......I'm sure nobody will care when they see me walking and coming in last.
