MAY YOUR SEARCH THROUGH NATURE
BRING YOU TO YOURSELF...
I saw this sign near Chantry Flats. I never noticed while running AC 100 6 times.
I ran with Andy Kumeda on Saturday. We started at Baily Canyon and up to Jones Peak we ran into Hope from Crossfit monrovia and a few bootcampers she was training with. We next headed Hastings peak. We then popped out onto the Mt. Wilson toll rod and heading along the AC 100 course. We got to the top of Wilson where it was windy and cold. There was a little bit of snow.
We had an awesome time running. He took me on some trail I had never run on and ones I only run in the dark during AC 100. We took the Studavaunt trail sp? To the Church camp there we met the caretaker Chris who has lived there with his wife 17 years. I though what a cool gig. They hike out ever other week to go to their other home in Wrightwood. He knows all the runners since everyone stops there to get water. It's a 5 mile hike out for them. The mules carry their supplies up. I would give anything to live there.
We had so much fun but we both forgot flashlights again!!! So we had to run the road back to Andy's instead of the trail. I really love those mountains and will make it a point to train there when I am in SoCal. Thanks Andy for the 8 hours of fun now it's time to start getting ready for HURT 100.
