"The Tan Lines Of Summer Have Begun....."

 
...screw on feet, Speedo back straps and permanent
bike short tan lines go hand in hand with training
during the summer months...thank goodness it's
that time of year again!!
*
An 8 mile trail run over this past weekend, though
very windy and a little chilly for short sleeves,
ended up being a fun adventure...(even though
I forgot the advil at breakfast and ended
up tightening up towards the end!)
*
I was finally able to run a trail I have been so
curious about for several years...I've avoided
this one on my mountain bike for a long time because
it's dangerous and designed to be ridden by the
really good riders...
*
Being "on-foot" I didn't experience the "G-Forces"
this trail is so famous for on the mountain bike...
...but I did see some beautiful blooming cactus,
numerous varieties of wildflowers and spectacular
views from every direction!!!   
 
 
7:30 am- heading out from the bottom....


Such a beautiful place!


Cactus in bloom...


The wind is whipping....why didn't you pack your
wind-breaker? (??)


The beginning of the trail...


La Sportiva's amongst the wildflowers!


It looked pretty when I was there....


At the bottom of the trail looking back up.


Heading back down to the car.
