Boulder Confidence

A good week -- 18+ hours.

This was the most fun part of it... Four minutes of trail running on one of my favorite trails. This short section is almost all large boulders, with a vertical drop of over 100 feet. Less than a week earlier I fell into a stream and was very lucky to come away almost unscathed. With the minor incidental damage largely healed, my confidence was fully back to enjoy this radical section of trail once again. This is very much like a more urban sport called free running.

Spring Finally!

The last two weeks have seen a transition from very seasonably cool windy days to a few almost summer-like days this week!  I managed a good amount of time hiking and trail running the last two weeks -- 15:48 and 15:58 respectively. Much more hiking that trail running, because that's what I wanted to do at the time! Here's a few photos:
