After my fall two weeks ago and missing the Sunshine in September run and most of the Mountain Highway Madness, I was eager to get out on the trails again. A 10min trial run had established that I wouldn't be able to go for a longer run, but I felt confident, that I could go on a shorter hike. Perfect timing, as Wendy, who also is recovering from a fall, was game for a little peak bagging.
Without much discussion, we settled on heading for DePencier Bluffs, the newest kid on the block with regards to the Bagger Challenge, and by all accounts an easy peak that could be done before lunch without problem. The weather forecast was for rain overnight and it looked like things could ease up mid morning. Well, it didn't just rain overnight, it hammered....Noticed that the forecast was downgraded and now called for heavy rain, but undeterred, I picked up Wendy on the way to the base of Seymour.
I am feeling more like a cyclist these days then a runner....certainly haven't been able to put any mileage in since earlier in the year. I guess my main goal this year is to get rid of the very painful heelspur that has been plaguing me and prevented me from consistently running:
