"He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed."
Albert Einstein
The last two weeks have been full of running and picture taking. Last week, I opted to spend 4 days in the Teton backcountry so I could appreciate the scenery. Wasatch is on September 9th. My training has not been as rigorous as it's been in the past but my body is not achy and sore, so that's good. I'm in denial about all of the preparation I need to do for the race. Maybe I'll get on it tomorrow...

| My pretty, new sneakers. Clean and shiny. |
 |
| My tent for 3 nights. Flat ground is nice. |
 |
| The next morning both my sneakers and socks were wet. I had to cross Moose Creek a mile before the campsite. On the way back out, I got smarter and put my flip flops on so my shoes stayed dry. |

| Moose Lakes are at the base of this little mountain. |

| Granite Creek patrol cabin. It looked like it was infested with mice. Yuck. |
 |
| Grand Teton and Spearhead. |
 |
| Still so much snow in the high country! |
 |
| Beautiful wolf track |
