F-town canyon. Moonlight run, no headlamp needed. Full understood the meaning of twilight, as being between the lights, or between two lights, or between light and dark. In front of me, to the East, the diffused, blue light of the dawning sun below the horizon crowned the top of the canyon. Behind me, and high in the sky, a waning moon shined brightly and cast a shadow of my form onto the hard-packed snow. Far below, pools of water in the canyon stream reflected silver moonlight, so bright I thought at first they were the lights of other runners who started 25 minutes after me. The other runners did show up. They were Steve n. and Ryan L. I met them as they were on mile 4 and as I was on mile 6 on the descent. Ryan ran down with me and Steve continued up. |
