Ave Twin Peaks with Dorsimus and Jsh:
Awesome day! Met the fellas at the Capitol building for a fun run in the snow to the Ave Twin peaks. This is one of my favorite training runs. I woke up to several fresh inches of snow at my house and the drive to the cap was nasty, so I knew we would probably be breaking more trail. It pretty much snowed on us the entire day, but we had a total blast laughing and running in the fresh snow. We let Dorsimus break trail most of the way and I pulled off a few sneaky moves to keep it that way.
Once we hit the ridge it went from quite a bit of snow to a TON of snow and we were now breaking trail in knee deep powder the rest of the way to the top. We saw several deer and elk, including two nice bucks right off the trail. So awesome. It took much longer than we planned to the summit and it was pretty tough, but we were laughing and having a blast.
The run down had to be faster and we picked it up some and when we made it out of the deep powder we were able to keep a consistent pace the rest of the way out. At one point someone started singing "Time of my Life" from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, and within minutes all three of us were chiming in right on key, funny and I'm sure the chick with the dog on snowshoes enjoyed it too. Awesome day.
