Running Accomplishments:

Biggest running accomplishment has been to simply start running and love it!  I've always been an athlete, but running was just one of those things done for conditioning because I was compelled to do it :).  My love for running (because I chose it) began in April of 2009 and I haven't stopped since!

9.8 mile bike ride...planned for 25 to Saratoga Springs and back, but got a flat coming down the hill past Camp Williams. Punctured new tube and wasted 3 CO2 cartridges before calling Christine to my rescue!

13.1 miles up to the top of Butterfield and back down to the gate.  They had the gate open at the bottom for the first time this year...but had the barricades up again at the 4 mile mark. Still lots of rocks and gravel all over the road up there.  It was a rainy morning, but I hit it just right...after the rain had stopped and it was actually a gorgeous run/day.  I was pretty amazed at how green everything had gotten since i was last up there on the previous monday.  Those few days in the 90s really lit things up.  Ran into (almost literally) a few turkey hunters up past the closure barricades.  One of them was right in the road using his turkey call as I came around a corner. I know it's not legal to hunt from the road, but I also was under the impression there wasn't any hunting in the canyon allowed either. No firearms.  hmmm.

8.2 across the Woodrow Wilson bridge again today.  High Humidity 88% at 6AM and 72 degrees...was sweating profusely.  Shirt soaked in the first 15 minutes...felt like running on the treadmill in the rec center.  My shirt was just sticking to me! 

Great run...love the trees and the smells...lots of Wisteria along the running path mixing with the smell of the ocean.  mmm
