Santiago Truck Trail

This morning's group run turned out to be a solo run because nobody else showed up! It was just me and the mountain bikers. This first picture shows my destination - the American flag in the distance. After that there are some views from the trail and lots of wildflowers.

Wildflowers are not really my thing, but I used the photo opportunities as an excuse to take some breaks on the uphill sections.

One of the pictures is sideways for some reason. Blogger just does whatever it wants with my photos. It never lets me arrange them the way I want, and always changes things around when I hit the Publish Post button. What's up with that? Isn't Google supposed to have some of the best programmers around? Haven't they heard of WYSIWYG?

It took me quite a while to get warmed up this morning because I did not run at all during the week - I only walked 6 miles because my legs were sore from last weekend's 9 mile run. That may not sound like much, but it was my longest run since last November!

Last week was my first 20 mile week in quite some time. This week will be more like 16 miles, with today's long run about 6.7 miles.

The cool sandstone formation is called Vulture Crags.

I wish I could have been on that run. Wow. What great wildflowers. Any new runners on today's run?

It was just me and the flowers. I would have welcomed the company!

very nice pics. Sometimes its the runs we do on our own that are the ones we remember the most.
