Today's Red Rock trail run featured blizzard conditions. The higher I climbed on the Rocky Gap 4x4 Road, there was more snow, it got much colder and then it got worse -- a blizzard let loose. It was a tough enough run on a treacherous rocky surface heading up and up to the sky on the steep mountain trail. But then after 2pm temps dropped from the 40s to the low 30s, the wind picked up and it began to snow. First a flurry, then a hailstorm. Then a blizzard. If my fingers weren't numb despite gloves I might have enjoyed myself a little more. But still it was something different as I traversed half-frozen brooks and creeks and discovered remote waterfalls. After over an hour of a steady uphill climb I was forced to turn around. Vowing to return another day to complete the 12-mile mountain-climbing adventure.
The run was set up by an office visit to my acupuncturist -- Dr. Kim Sperling. Another great treatment. Now that my healing team is assembled that also includes ayurveda with Anne and yoga with Cypresse & Kim Culp I feel like I might be on the path to wellness.
