Flurries in Fox Run

First day back running since Greenland 50K. That does not count the Friday/Saturday/Sunday fun weekend in Moab in which I hiked and biked all three days!

Fox Run was great and treated me well this afternoon, despite a few snow flurries here and there. I love the long loop around the entire park and relish my quiet time in it. The trails are wide; yet, there are single track trails that you can take to get off the beaten path or away from doggies and their owners. Today, I did my usual long loop except at the bottom of the park (near Roller Coaster Rd) I took the single track off to the left.

Unfortunately, the clouds were so low on the horizon today that Pikes Peak was obscured at my favorite vantage point. I only stopped for a few seconds due to that.

I was very happy though that nothing was tight; no muscle pull or tear; all worked well - legs, lungs, and lunacy!
