Trail Running





I spent the weekend in MOAB (a favoirite place in the world) with my best buds, Katie & Judah Becker. We enjoyed a short hike out towards Klondike Bluffs on Friday evening when we arrived to town and on Saturday we spent hiking Amasa Back trail. It was WONDERFUL! As we were climbing up the canyon it felt easier to jog then to walk so I did... and before I knew it I had crested the top of the main canyon trail so I climbed some rocks and sat in the sun. It was delightful.
The best part was that while the trail was very bumpy, lots of rock and obstacles, my feet seemed to have a mind of their own- picking just the right place to step. It felt like a dance. It felt good. It was fun. lso fun was the silly feeling I had and so I decided to PRETEND I was on a mountian bike doing stunts, running and leaping off of rocks asif I were spinning off them on a bike. It was so fun to play like a child... and so embarassing when unexpected bikers caught me doing it! ha. I felt like a kid, this time in a good way! :)

The trail was wide and well used but not much traffic other than mountain bikers. Speaking of which, I MUST learn to mountian bike ride. There is some technique BI can see that. but what thrill, what fun the going down part! Next trip down I may book myself a tour where they drop you off and you bike back to town.

I have shared with yout he following pics.. My feet...beautiful are the feet that bring good news! The view from my rock nap- knees included, fins & the La Sal mountains, and the view I had when I ran down the canyon on the way back.
