Interest Level for Some Mid-Week Night Runs?

**Elvota** · 04-16-2008, 05:47 PM

Since I am not up for the usual weekend schedule, I thought I'd post and see if any of you locals would be interested in some mid-week night runs. I figure with a lot of you having early starts the next morning, such an idea might not be an option... but thought I'd check anyway.

My thought would be to start around 6:30 or 7:00 PM on either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Thinking 4 or 5 hour runs max including there and back so time doesn't get to late.

Some ideas...

Log Corral
Sunflower
Trail 404
Some FJ trails
Some TM trails
Hackberry
Sycamore area

Other suggestions....

If no one has any real preferences or input I'll just post up a run here and there and see who wants to join in. SOAZTim has expressed interest, so there should be two at least.

Sounds good to me!
4peaks is another good area. Maybe even the butcher jones area.

You know I found a route from Butcher Jones to 4Peaks... and I know some trails around there as well... or we could just randomly explore until completely lost in the dark.

What day of the week would be you guys mostly be running? If it were a set thing, like every other Wednesday, I'd be in for a few runs.

**Elvota** · 04-17-2008, 07:03 AM

Not really sure if it would be set.. just trying to get an idea what you guys might be interested in.

I am sure a few could be arranged for Wednesday though.

I'm game. Probably more inclined to do east side stuff, Table Mesa area would just be murder to get to from my part of town in the afternoon. 4peaks/FJ are good... oh wait, did you say 404!?!?

AZ4ME · 04-17-2008, 11:02 AM

I'd probably be in for a few night runs. Since I live on the west side, FJ would most likely be out for me.

That's right.... you haven't done 404 yet.. have you? Tim ran that one for the first time in the dark as well. It's a pretty cool run after the sun goes down. Plus it's close and only takes a few hours to complete.

I am sure runs can be planned on either side of the valley... so there will be something for all. I don't think you have done 404 yet either... but your 4Runner might be too wide for "The Squeeze".

Runs in the N/NE part of the valley would be fine. My truck is a few inches narrower than Westfall's, so I think I should be good.

Westfall's rig is basically the absolute max... and Kent's Tacoma is too wide. Without the steps I made, he'd still be stuck there.

This sounds like a good time. I may join you guys on a few of these this summer.
