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!

Went with Scott to go up Rose Canyon Road via Butterfield Parkway...but were stopped at The Cove as the evacuation restrctictions haven't been lifted yet.  Surprises me a bit...can only see on smoldering hot spot and UPD policeman says its still at 15% containment. ??

Anyway we figured that might be the case so we turned around and went out the Mtn View Corridor. 

Hot!  Drank lots of water and was ready to be done.
