So what do you call running on trails, climbing on rocks, whisking yourself over huge rock formations and avoiding cacti?
Grab your napkin, you are gonna drool...What a fabulous morning bumping around Red Rock Canyon! So wonderful. Decided to go on the Calico trail and head up to the Turtlehead peak. The trails were rated as easy, moderate and difficult, and I think it was related to how easy it was to keep in contact with the trail! In Michigan, we have trees, then trails. Here, it seemed that the trails disappeared! I was so blown away by the stunning beauty of this place...my first eye candy was this along the Calico trail:
And this was my reaction... :)
Then I came across this...
And these beauties...
Started to head up to Turtlehead Peak...
...and this was the trail to get there...
But it paid off in the end...and I am surprised I did as well as I did with my enromous fear of heights factor.
Ran the road back to my car and was in awe by this...
Started on my not regular machine, and moved after about 10 minutes. Better. :) On the up and up, when I went to the gym it was -10, on the drive home it was -5. Gotta start somewhere...

Interrupted by laundry, kid to school, stuff like that. Mom has figured out when I am on my bike, I don't go anywhere, or say much, so she has realized its the time to talk to me. :)
Massage day! So cool...at work local massage therapists come and volunteer for all us social workers to have a massage. Then it was followed by a chocolate potluck...I restrained mightily.
