I did a first trail run at Monrovia Canyon park following the fireroad that passes the Saw Pit Dam. Started about 7am on Sunday from Canyon Blvd.  Once on the fireroad I did not encounter any human.  The golden sunrise shine on the Monrovia peak at 8am was a reward after I slowly reached the second junction of Ben Overtuff trail and the main fireroad.  That junction is about 3.5 mi from the gate.  I decided to turn back down  mixning walking and slow run.

There were some mosquito/fly on the upper part where is near water spring.  It was annoying that kept me running down the trail.

I hope I can make it.  I used it as a goal to keep me training.

I haven't register yet, but I think we can register on the same day paying $5 more.
