Topanga #3

Nov. 27. A few days after bloodying my knees, and a week after the rains, I headed back out to Topanga for one of my make-it-up-as-I-go-along runs. This time I took off along a single-track about 2.5 miles in. A scramble uphill, a steep and very rocky scramble downhill, a bit of open trail, a strange-for-Topanga bit of singletrack through trees, with soft dirt underfoot and tall grass caressing my thighs in a way that, well, kinda turned me on… A final desert-like scramble up hill to a crest looking out over the ocean…And then back.
