Took the camera for an easy cuise up Malan's tonight. Figured I'd try to entice Scott W to get up here and run this thing with some sweet pics of what he's missing. :) Sorry no summit pics, had to turn around at the 3/4 mark to get to the Pack Meeting (Arrow of Light for the little dude).

View looking up Taylor Canyon from the trail head at 27th Street.

Took the pics from the top down, so Malan's in reverse. Sweet top section through the pines.

View from the "overlook" at about half way up, this is a major split marker for the faster runs. Trail head is marked with a red dot.

One of the steep sections before the overlook on the way up. The trails gains almost 1200 ft in a mile through here. Yep, steep.

Knee tweak section #1 in Taylor Canyon. Most of the trail through the canyon bottom looks like this, guess that's why I regularly tweak my knee running through here.

Knee tweak section #2. Good tecnical fun, both up and down.
Nice easy run tonight. Body feeling good running almost everyday. Mind really craving running again. Gunk 90% gone. Call it just under four miles and 1750 vert (in 1.9 miles) tonight. |
