Are You Living It?

Jay and I blasted out of town headed for the trails of Sand Canyon. With just a quick stop at one of our favorite bike shops, Kokopelli Bike and Board, for some trail intel, high tech gooey nutrition and to ogle over their enormous bike inventory, we were on our way. We arrived at the trail head and quickly plotted out a series of twist, turns and loops that would give us about a 12 mile run, which was about 8 miles too many given our current fitness levels.

I’ve put off writing this post for more than a week now on the theory that sometimes meaningful moments just don’t relay very well as stories.  There’s some social trigger in us that makes us want to blab about everything, but we have to stop ourselves and realize some things are best cherished in private.  Otherwise the risk is receiving the “I guess you had to be there” look from your audience, or worse, the averted glance and fake throat-clearing cough that means the person not only doesn’t know why you just told them what you did, but really, really wishes you hadn’t.
