Howling at the Moon

Today was a great day!  Starting at 6am I met Dona and her friend, Cassie at the Equestrian Center.  We headed up Clark's but before we reached the top there was a massive coyote howl fest and we decided to turn around.  At first we only heard one coyote howl, but then several more chimed in with howls and yips and we decided turning around was the best plan.  They couldn't have been too far from us, because they were pretty loud.  

Then we headed out Ann's where Cassie left us for the trailhead and Dona and I went to end and then up Maple Hollow. After that, we made a stop at the spigot before turning back around and heading back up Clark's and down Canyon Hollow.  The leaves are starting to change and it was a beautiful cloudy, cool day.  We were sprinkled on a little, but not bad at all.  Dona is a rock star because her longest run ever before today was 17 miles!  Way to go, Dona!

Lovely fall leaves on Clark's trail.

Dona is just way too cute, and a very cool chick too!

Thank you Corner Canyon.  Thank you.

Thanks for the awesome run today, ladies!  Despite being fairly slow, the run felt really good!  Now time to rest (and by rest I mean, do laundry, take care of kids, cook food and run to the grocery store)!
