Another great run in the Los Altos Hills today with Hari. We even found a small side trail going through some of the largest and priciest mansions I have ever seen. Some of these homes had personal gold holes, tennis courts, full size swimming pools, mini wineries, horse farms, and many of the driveways were…

Baylands Preserve Run
This morning I ran with Hari at Baylands Preserve along the marshes of the San Francisco Bay. The preserve is the largest tract of undisturbed marshland in the San Francisco Bay. We ran for 66 minutes on the dirt pathways and I got to work on my tan a little! It was definitely a change…
Man vs. Wild
I have basically been in rest mode most of the day watching the Man vs. Wild marathon on Discovery Channel. The host Bear Grylls is amazing and he shows off some sweet survival skills on each episode. I love some of the stuff he eats like beetles, maggots, and scorpions! Pretty sweet job he has!…
Chevys
Today I had a very good lunch at Chevys FreshMex Restaurant. I haven’t had a good fajita in a while and they make them pretty good at Chevys – the chicken was so tasty! The big lunch powered me on a 72 minute run in Los Altos Hills this afternoon which went well.

The result is a network of trails providing road-free running for miles. It’s…

Lunch, Movie, and Run!
Today was a really fun day. I had a great lunch at Milagros Restaurant in Redwood City. It was nice to eat outside in the shade on a hot day. I had fish tacos for the entree, the appetizers were great, and the dessert was very tasty. I never realized how nice the new Redwood…
Mount Goddard
On Saturday I climbed Mount Goddard via Lamarck Col/Darwin Canyon. It took 15 hours and 15 minutes roundtrip (10,000+ elevation gain, three major climbs, around 34 miles), but the scenery was gorgeous and I enjoyed the climb immensely. Check out the trip report here. Spectacular Evolution Basin. I also took a golf lesson this morning…
