Day 209 and 210 -
Sticks and Stones


Very warm out during this mornings run. Again, the warm before the storm. Snow is forecast for some areas within the valley.


With the exception of a couple dogs and one owner, the trail was quiet. Jax is limping again, poor guy injured his left paw a couple days ago. After giving him a few days off , I left him off leash  so he was able to go his own pace. He loved sniffing and peeing on every bush, sprinting ahead, waiting and peeing some more.


There are so many beautiful sights up here on the trail nearest the mountains.  I am excited for the wild spring flowers to come out of hiding. They will again frame the narrow northern trail with thousands of small purple blooms, so beautiful, they look like each one was perfectly painted in place. Until then, I enjoy the stones, the river and the coolest little shack / pad someone(s) built out in the field. 

Day 184: Wed Feb 12th - Stones

Day One Hundred Eighty-four:  Stones

While waiting for the first of the Spring flowers to greet us and say 'hi'... here is a photo of carefully placed stones. It was either that or photos of the recycling and garbage bins left by every curb this morning, and how much more fun would that have been? 
Great pace this morning. Though really I don't know what my pace was, as I don't time my runs while I'm doing this crazy streak thing. I'm just guessing it was a great pace for me as I felt in fluid motion, cruising along and quite winded when I was finished. It wasn't a super long run this morning, but fun all the same.
