From Aaron: This week, I was supposed to be running the trails in the Texas State Park of Palo Duro Canyon. But they got a year’s worth of rain in one week. The park flooded. Bridges washed out. Trails closed indefinitely.
Plan B: Colorado. I’m in the Aspen/Basalt/Carbondale area at a friend’s house, elevation 6,950 ft. Gorgeous view of Mt. Sopris. Deer greeting me in the morning. And access to piles of incredible trails. Plan B is way better than Plan A. This bodes well for the upcoming European travels, where flexibility will be the name of the game. 🏃🏽♂️🏔🦌
Runs so far: Upper Cattle Creek/Basalt Mountain Trail (16.7 mi, elevation gain 1,496 ft.) Arbaney-Kittle Trail (6.7 mi, elevation gain 1,972 ft.).
