I just love those lollipop loops. Wrote it before, I’ll write it again: I’m a loopy girl.
With limited time this morning, I thought I’d squeeze in a double digit run on my journey out of the rut.
The sun was hot, the breeze was cool. Bluish squished lizards decorated the single tracks. How does that happen? I thought. I’ve never stepped on a lizard in my life. I don’t think I could if I tried – not unless I hosed it down with water first. Then I remembered the bikes. Yes . . . the lovely bikes.
My shins ached for the first 1.5 miles. Stretching didn’t help the pain. Only when I began running uphill did the shins feel good. Then they felt fine the remainder of the run.
It felt good to run solo in the lonely wilderness. I relished the time alone. This morning I got 11.59 miles of alone time. Then it was back off to the grind, already looking forward to tomorrow’s run.
Running up Meadows’ switchbacks:
My “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright Bridge,” on Meadows. Once I cross this bridge the switchbacks stretch out, and the ascent lessens some, and I feel much better about running the entire thing.

But there’s still a tad more to climb:
Running down Rock It:
Coyote Run:
Crossing over Mathis Trail to meet up with Wood Canyon:
great run! Things are looking very springy. I am glad you are getting out of your rut.
