Two points to be made. First Point----I am really taken with this particular desert. As I think about it, I have spent time in deserts before. Once, for a few weeks in Utah during a cold January. Then once again in the Middle East for about 7 months. Both of those deserts were extremely barren. Maybe it is the cactus, or maybe it is the desert in Spring, or maybe it is because this trip is for pleasure and the others were for business. Don't know.

Second Point----There is really no need for wick away workout clothing when the humidity is 15%. Cotton will do just fine.

You've definitely had a great trip to the desert terrain for training and pleasure. It must be very gratifying on several levels.

Humidity of 15% sounds ideal for workouts!

My best,

The low humidity is nice, but you really have to make sure you hydrate even if it doesn't seem like you are sweating.

Thanks for all the desert pics./ desert running posts. I live in New England and I have never seen a “real” desert before. Maybe someday, right? :)

Beautiful pictures! Certainly why people choose to retire in Arizona. However, based on personal experience -- you don't want to be there in the summer. Training in 100+ degree weather is certainly no fun.

Speaking of running with the wildlife . . . you should check out running with the elk. Actually, I was more afraid of being trampled in a stampede than in admiring their size and agility!

Thanks for the nice comments on the photos. I had a great time with the camera this week. This trip, I think, I finally embraced digital. Snap away and delete what didn't work, repeat.
