Morning run along Cascade and then up Tenderfoot to the Cypress Trail. The 3.5 mile trail crosses stream beds and through endless strands of pine and redwood, and angles back into and out of the corners of Cascade Canyon. At times, the shards of sunlight shooting through the trees were magical, the trees on fire in the morning glow. One time a blast of sunlight found a gap in the trees, blinding me, and I came oh so close to rolling my ankle as I tripped over one of the ever-present roots. Of course, it doesn’t really count as a trail run unless you trip or almost roll an ankle at least once.
