Arrrh! long, tough work day. The kind that makes you wonder if doing your own thing is really worth it! Rolled in the door at 7:45 PM, needed a run badly, the family was just sitting down to dinner, my awsome wife basically pushed me out the door, saying get out and run, we are fine! I'm soo blessed to have such a supportive family.
Getting dark, didn't take a light, tired already. Why not punch out the front side of Indian trail to the shack as fast as possible. Put the peddle down and churned hard up the hill in the fading light. 3.3 miles, 1350 vertical in just under 30 minutes. I havent pushed that hard in a while.
I was still feeling wound up from work as I headed back down. I passed through the backside of Warm Water canyon in the dark with no light, there are more than a few places that you wouldn't want to blow it back there, think BIG drops with narrow trail. As I came onto the East slope, I was suprised that I could see my shadow on the hillside, I turned around to see a huge full moon coming up over mt. allen! Funny 'cause at that same moment one of my favortie running songs came on my player. I stood right there and said thank you to the Universe. All the work stuff went away right then.
Total run 6.6 miles
