Running In The Mountains

Eldorado Springs Trail.  4.96m.  1:27:48.  I love trail running.  It’s slow, especially when I have a net gain of 1,751 (followed by a net loss of the same - think bell curve.)  But – I like slow.  Today was a 5m run in my backyard – up Eldorado Springs Trail and then back down through private property to the reservoir and then my house.  I didn’t see a single person.  The clouds were heavy and damp from the rain last night and the Grateful Dead was jamming along on the iPod.
