Dawn on the Mesa

60 minutes
easy to moderate pace
6 am - still warm out there (pushin' 50 degrees) - ran into work retracing my steps from last night's run - a lot of ice had glazed up on the trail, but the packed snow was even softer than yesterday - my feet were punching through it, sometimes up to mid-shin - I usually had a choice between ice or very soft snow - pretty slow-goin' today - I was off the Mesa Trail before the actual sunrise, but there were some beautiful pre-sunrise colors hangin' out above Denver and the horizon.
