Sweet Malan's run tonight with some Boulder Field trail add on.  Trail up Malan's was as good as it's been all winter.  Nobody out but me and The Ghost, but he was on his way out so I had the place to my self.  Wore my heart rate moniter for the first time ever on a run up Malan's. Interesting that keeping a run going at a reasonable pace was right at my aerobic threshold.  Kept it right at 150 plus or minus a few beats.  It did spike up to 158 on the two really steep sections, but came back in line quickly.  Felt great, legs, and mind feeling back to 100% recovered.  Peaked out just as the sun dropped to the horizon.  High clouds out west made for some sweet alpenglow, turned everything blazing orange and faded to a sweet pink, absolutely beautiful watching the peaks change colors like that. Even the air around me seemd to be glowing.  Nights like this is why I love to run.  

2700 vert, 7 miles total.

Beautiful description. The only that might have made it better would to have had Ghost up there with you. Tender.
