Took my shoes for a run.

I wish I had more days like today, blue skies, mild temperature's, endless vistas. With an unknown destination I set out above Elfin Lakes to see where I would end up. It was 11km on a well used trail up to the two very beautiful mountain lakes to start with. It's quite isolated, I saw one party on their way down around RedHeather hut, other than that it was a pretty quiet mid week in the backcountry. The feeling I get with solitude and mountains is very spiritual, indescribable sometimes? 

I am alive in the backcountry, searing lungs and heavy breathing, quivering quads and aching feet. My mind is happy, my spirit free. In pursuit of this feeling I will always have.

I finished up back at my car 6 and a half hours later and just shy of 50km. Happy am I!!

Must get out and run more, feeling like a lazy sloth lately? wtf??

Wanting to go out and get lost in the mountains, just pack light, alpine style and see how far I can go in a day. Must do! Must get my adventurous spirit back.
