O’Leary n More on Stunning Northern AZ Day

Ran 12 mile loop to west of O’Leary, 6:30am start, before starting up summit trail.  Stunning day early, though rain came to Flagstaff after 2pm (was already heading back to Glendale).

Trail has comfortable pitch to like mile 2.5, then picks up steepness.  Was able to keep steady ascent.  Road is mostly smooth, so made for fun running descent.  Breeze was nice, air cool, and overall just a great morning to be outside.
