Unknown Territory

Today's trail run was located somewhere between Jean and Primm, Nev. In other words in the middle of nowhere. It took me almost an hour to run from where I parked my car to where the trail met the mountains. Then, although the trail was too rocky to run and I had to hike, it was almost another hour to reach the summit. Along the way I saw plenty of giant rabbits. As big as dogs. They were too fast to photograph. But I did take over 150 photos. You'll see some of the best ones soon. It was all downhill coming back so it only took me about an hour to descend. I didn't see a soul the whole 3 hours I was out there. But the further I climbed uphill the cooler it got and the lusher the vegitation became.

Being Thursday, it was Dynamic Flow yoga with Cypresse. I was a little soar and sunburned after my run but the yoga was just what I needed to work the muscles I missed running. The 3-hour run also helped the blood sugar. The last two readings had been in the 140s but tonight after yoga it was an excellent 110.
