Two days after suffering my first injury, I woke up this morning determine to reconquer the mountain. How could I not? We actually got rain last night which meant the air would be clean and views of and from the mountain would be fantastic. Plus, it was still raining when I woke up.
As I started out on my trip, I actually felt cold from the rain and had second thoughts about making it to the top. Then I realized how silly it was for me to be complaining about being a little cold after one of the hottest summers I've experienced. So, I pressed on.
There was an unusual amount of foot and bicycle traffic on the mountain this morning. It is amazing that rain and cooler weather actually brings people out in Tucson. I was glad to be out and didn't experience any hip pain as I biked.
I caught this picture on my half-way point. The view of the desert with the dark sky as a backdrop was spectacular and made me feel good about being in Tucson.
When I got to the gazebo, I saw a roadrunner along the path. I always see roadrunners up here. I actually was able to get a picture of it before it ran off, however.
And, then caught this image of the city before making my way down. I'm glad I live in Tucson.
