It's so funny; I've been running for so long, I have become so addicted that even when I'm on vacation or camping. I need to go on my jogs!
I love seeing new scenery. Running through a new city, Or area.
I went for a 2 mile run in the desert. I wish I could have got better photos of the cliff I saw, But sadly my iPhone 6 didn't do a good job capturing it.

Soooo Many Rocks!

Maybe it's just me, But I have an obsession with oddly shaped rocks! They are so cool! Thats why I'm always taking pictures of them. Then again, Before I became self employed I was majoring in Geology :) !

I Ran in Water Shoes

Lately, My running shoes have been hurting my feet, So I ordered a new pair, and they are on their way. I also got some shoes for swimming in the lake, But it has been too cold lately. They are full of holes and awesome. It feels like you are running barefoot, But you still have some protection on your feet. I can't wait to do water hikes in these. The only bad thing is I have to watch out for large plants, Sticks or anything sharp in general. That can easily pierce through to my foot. The run went well; I Only stepped on a couple of sharp rocks that hurt my feet.

The Cliffside

There is a gorgeous cliffside nearby that leads into a bunch of valleys. I need to figure out how to take photos of it! It's truly an incredible site. So much emptiness with nothing but nature.

I can't wait to explore the nature in other states. If a desert can be this beautiful, I can't imagine what a forest would look like.

I can dig some oddly shaped rocks lol! Hopefully your water shoes have enough padding and support to go running in.. and yes wait till you see the wildlife and lush terrain northeast of you! Mind blown :)

Eek! I'm so excited for that!

For sure!!! So many adventures to be had :) let's hit up a rainforest one day lmao

These views are beautiful and I can tell you why you'd want to go for a run every morning!

Right?
I'm so addicted

@kaylinart - Wow - what an amazing location for a run! You are brave to run on those rocks in swimming shoes!!
I love the rocks and the challenge of the terrain that you took. Did not know you like running.
Keep it up. Steem on!

This is a new facet of your personality. This is the reason I feel that you are a steem Boss! I just said that in one of my posts an hour ago (please take a look if you want to be amused :) ) and what a coincidence, here is your blog with yet another facet of your personality!! Cool

Upvoted full

Thank you :) I 've loved running for years now! I guess I don't talk about it much hehe.
Aww I'll check it out!! Hehe thank you so much for your support and kindness!

Reminds me of these:

I've seen some in a store once, but none were even close to my shoe size. I'm curious to try a pair if I ever get a chance though. Cool photos!

WOW! I need to try those sometime! Hopefully we can't stub our toes lol

suddenly i wish they had a desert here :+1:

Aww! Yeah it can be really beautiful hehe :)

any place without humans usually is by the sheer absence of stress ... let's hope we can get to mars in our lifetimes

I love trail ranning. I, too, run so much in the forest and the shore of the Baltic Sea

Wow! That sounds amazing! I've never been to the Baltic sea and would love to go.

thanks for sharing! :)

Thank you for checking out my post hehe ;)

I love running too especially on the trails in nature, but I like to run in hot weather, not so much in winter or when it's cold. So I only run in the summertime and then just exercise inside.
The rocks are awesome, I'm with you girl. Awesome trail to be running every day. Lucky girl.

good post My 2 Mile Run In The Desert , i havr upvote and reestem nice

Thank you :)

Oh my GOD. You are not from this world; not a human. I will admit that you have great muscle endurance as well as stamina. Btw, photos are beautiful.

Nice nature,upvoted:)

Thank yoU :)

welcome:)

You are tougher than me.....full out sneakers is the only way I'm in that!

Two miles, you go girl! :-)

The views are spectacular! I don't jog, it's just not my kind of sport, but doing yoga in such places, or even better - go to plain air and draw some of these views would be a great time spending!:)

You did a great job with those cliff photos, they look great!
A geologist? Oh no, not another rock smasher! Hehe just kidding. ;)
It's good you have been able to get a nice run in and exploring done of that area, I hope you have a wonderful time, though I can already tell you did. :)

I love jogging outdoors too. In SoCal where I live, we have some amazing views as well. However, like you mentioned, the camera just doesn't do it justice. Nothing is as good as being there, taking it all in and feeling invigorated by the exercise, the view, and the air around you. All the best!

wonderful photography..,

Amazing views, don't get to adventurous taking photos off of cliffs though...

when I went to Vegas I went walking in the desert it was so hot and dry. Being from Florida I am used to heat but the dry heat is crazy it burns my nose. I enjoy running along the beach because when I get hot I just hop in the water to cool off.

Good Post

aww I need to build up that cardio! It takes me like 12 minutes to run a mile! LOL
