8 mile trail run up Perry Canyon, up the switchbacks to the upper bench. The switchbacks were overgrown, 2/3 of the way up there was a washed out section and I ended up on a deer trail. Rough climbing, but great cardio workout. Flats and uphills felt good. The downhill impact caused my lower back to tighten and hurt. No speed going downhill. Overall an enjoyable run.
