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. |
