...suffering from a common sports injury. Variously called black toe, jogger's toe or tennis toe, it's characterized by bleeding under the toenail as a result of repeated trauma. I'd worn thinner socks than usual, which left room for my feet to slide forward, banging my nails many times against the front of the sneaker, or so-called toe box. Shoes that are too big or slippery can create the same problem...
...highest peaks. "It's easy to follow in the footsteps of others who have created paths and broaden their trails," says Woodbury, with allusion to the growth of the West in general, which he writes about often. "Unfortunately, widening contributes to erosion and drainage problems." Though an avid jogger based in the Mile High City since 1994, Woodbury admits he was winded by the time he reached the top of Mount Bierstadt, where he spent a very windblown hour interviewing hikers at 14,060 ft.

(Nervous laughter...
...threatened. Lions hunt, skulking around their prey unnoticed before pouncing. Females and males are equally predatory. Yosemite wildlife-control officer Kate McCurdy recalls a Yosemite lion who sat near tents in 1994, intently watching shadows cast by people partying inside. Cougars tend to pick solitary prey; thus the lone jogger and the occasional bird watcher are in greater danger. But when lions do decide to target a group, they go after the smaller elements in the pack--children...
