SO jealous of the 'trail conditions'...since ours are covered with snow, and we won't see trails like that again until May! (But our Christmas Ski Tour rocked...)
Thanks Keith! It's funny - people come here and "OOOH" & "AAAH" over our scenery. Then we look at your scenery and do the same!!! That backdrop of you running the frozen lake last week looked like a painted movie prop! Awesome!

[Image]It was a beautiful day and what a fitting way to celebrate Christmas - a great trail run at Garden of the Gods! Pikes Peak was crowned with clouds, but aside from that, crystal-clear blue sky reigned the day. [Image] [Image]The trails were in awesome shape and with temps in the 30's to start, then into the 40's later in the day, it felt downright balmy after a couple weeks of brisk temps. [Image]Running past the Siamese Twins arch, had to stop and get a photo of the Peak through the keyhole... [Image]... and with some awkward footing, got a group photo there as well!!! [Image] [Image]Finishing strong on the trails with a little over 10 miles for the day. A great day and a lot of runners out on the trails. We were headed for Steve's sister's house to have a family Christmas tradition - Lasagna. What a meal after a good run, topped off with Chocolate Espresso cake - mmmm - Happy Trails!
"Merry Christmas!"
