Like the canyon

8 miles on the home loops. Hot. Legs tired...thinking about it on the run I put it together. Guess I went on a little vert bender without realizing it. I ran Malan's three times, and a full out and back on Indian Trail  two times in seven days...not consecutive, and broken up between "weeks" so it didn't really register that I had done so much vert, mix in the trail work and some other running and it adds up to a cooked trail runner.....

Great short little video that describes alot of the reasons I love running. Thanks CodyB

Malan's up and back.  Dry, pretty much snow free trail.  Been a while, almost forgot what it looks like up there without a cover of snow.  Got out pretty late and had the trail and peak to nyself, first time for tha tin a while too.

4.5 miles 2200 vert.

Busy night.  Took my oldest climbing to the local grid bolted crag. Had a great time. He did really well for his first time on rock....kinda hard to find the holds when they aren't bolted to the wall :). 

My buddy Anthony showed up with his wife to climb with a scout group.  Cool to talk with him about his new V14 and the V15 project he working on.  Unbelievable how strong he become....I still remember when he was a goofy highschool kid that used to hang out with us at the climbing gym. 

I even led a sewed up little 5.9.  Its been years since I have even tied into a rope and probably 12 years since I clipped a draw...felt sketchy and nervous but fun! Crazy! I used to do this every single day!

Came home, changed clothes and headed out for an easy 5 on the daily right before dark.

Short home loop.

Indian Trail over and back.  Got out late, not a soul to be seen.  dragged out anouther or mile or so running on the boulderfield loops waiting for the sun to drop out of the clouds at the horizion and was rewarded with some sweet alpenglow to finish off the run. 

Repeat of Friday's run.  Wanted more but was all I had time for as I had promised to take my 4 year old up waterfall canyon.  He has been obessed with this hike since we did it a year ago and couldn't go to sleep last night he was so excited to go. Gotta love it. 

AM - Indian over and back with a little add on.  Picked up last two miles

PM - 3 miles or so up the waterfall.  Carried a pack and anded up filling it with rocks I guess it should count for something.
