Drove up to the mouth of Mueller Park canyon and ran up to elephant rock.  This has always been a good therapeutic run for me and I was hoping that it would help clear my mind.  I felt really good going up.  I just wanted to run at a nice comfortable pace.  Got to the top and hung out for a little while and enjoyed the view.  On the way back down, I turned a corner and there was a huge moose right in the middle of the trail.  Fortunately, it was more scared than I was and it took off down the canyon.  Pace felt really good coming down also.  This was a lot less death defying than last time I run up to the rock because there was no snow.  A good run overall and I think it served it's purpose.

I'm glad the run served it's purpose! I tell people that running is cheaper than therapy! Even with buying the gear, paying race fees and traveling to races! Glad the moose was more scared than you! I'm not sure what I would do if I ended up looking face to face with a huge animal like that on my run!
