2012 Training Log – Week 52
Got 42 in a little under 7 hours, and I’m starting to feel a hint of mojo returning. I had two unexpectedly good runs this week, and a long run that was sweet – even if I did make it home totally running on fumes.

For the 3rd Saturday in a row I got up before sunrise and ran from my house up Waterton Canyon. This time I went up the Colorado Trail a bit before turning around.
The sunrise was epic!
Pretty cool to get into some views like this after an hour of running.
The wind was blowing hard on my trip down the canyon and making some cool effects on the ice.
I packed the DSLR the whole 17 miles in hopes of getting some more bighorn shots, but came home empty handed.

I scratched the camera itch by spending Sunday afternoon hanging out in Chatfield State Park.
I haven’t identified this guy yet, but he was a photogenic little subject for a while.
Geese. Lots and lots of geese.
Then I finally got what I was after. A bald eagle came swooping by flying in a tight circular pattern as it made its way down the shoreline. It was a little far for my lens, but I did the best I could and waited for it to bank into the late afternoon light.
