Thats a great story! I know the feeling...except we were climbing in Red Rocks outside of Vegas, and started a route late. We ended up watching the sunset from the top over the strip which was amazing! Not so amazing was watching the ranger put a ticket on the car too...
I'm glad you got out AND experienced the fun of trail running! Do you hear XTerra calling in the near future???

No Xterra, but the thought of a trail run (sans 30-lb pack) is a bit more tempting now, don't know if it could live up to that one though....

Sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing.
DH and I went backpacking on a 5 day hike a few years back. The last day we were supposed to catch a bus at 9 am (the ONLY bus) to take us back to the trail head and to our car. We overslept and woke up at 7:30 AM. We had to tear down camp and hike out 3.5 miles. Man, did we run! Well, I'm sure it was really slow jogging, but I was so sore from the previous days it sure felt like running. We made it to the parking lot by 8:55 Am--and wouldn't you know it, the bust was almost an hour late. We could have walked afterall . . .

Ohhhh.....Kimmmy.........
ha ha ha....guess what... I will take you trail running too!!! Why stop at mt bike 101.....
I love trail running. Love it, love it, love it. And from everything I have read everyone should put it in their training plan to give your body a break.
You are really coming to the dark side.....

Wow, Kimmy, I'm impressed! 30lb pack- whew! If it was downhill you're a stud- if it was uphill you're a super-stud!! I loved reading your retelling of the run. What an adventure!!!
A giant fine is one heck of a way to motivate me to move FAST!
See- trail running is soooo much fun. I try to do one a week (more if the trail is dry enough). You have fun out there, you dirt demon!Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com
