other dreaminess

There was a certain dreamlike quality to the Sycamore Canyon run last weekend. This was partly due to lack of sleep and the early morning and the fog, but there were also some weird moments out there. I kept coming across the same hikers out on the trail. I’m pretty sure I saw one hiker three separate times, and I saw at least two other groups of hikers twice. It seemed a little strange to me at the time but I couldn’t spare the mental energy to figure it out. There are a few loop trails in the area and I’m not too familiar with them so it must have just been that they were taking a shorter loop and we were running into each other again, but it was a little creepy, too, in a “room for one more…” kind of way…
