Today I had a super fun run on the Lake Youngs Loop. The excellent trail around the periphery of the watershed is 9.6 miles long and is on great surface. There are rolling hills and it is 70% in the shade. I did the loop in 58 minutes (59 minutes from the car). Here is…

A bit tired
I didn’t do much today, mainly just resting and watching the Track and Field World Championships on TV. I hope to run tomorrow morning. Yesterday I drove out to Cle Elum for a challenging trail run that totaled around 22 miles with tons of elevation gain so it took a long time. I thought the…
Un-August Weather
The weather in Western Washington has been unusually cool and cloudy this summer, but today was more like a day in March with gray skies all day and a steady rain all morning. The Seattle weather station set a record for precipitation for this date and reports on the eastside had rainfall totals of over…

The weather has returned to the unusual cool and cloudy conditions we have been experiencing in Western Washington this summer so no climbing the past couple days and none anticipated until next week when the weather improves. In the mean time, I have been getting in some runs. Yesterday I had a good 10 mile…
Back into it!
My butt has finally healed enough to allow me to run the past couple days, yay!! On Monday, the run started out with all kinds of pain in my butt and my legs felt totally out of whack after not running for 5 days – 47 minutes at Beaver Lake and Klahanie. On Tuesday, I…
Los Altos Hills West
Today we ventured out to an area of Los Altos Hills I have not explored yet on the west side of Interstate 280. The run was 61 minutes and I felt pretty good. The weather was beautiful once again. It is generally more hilly in West Los Altos Hills with some pretty steep climbs. It…
Los Altos Hills
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…

Check it out! The link can also be found on the sidebar to the right. Today I ran at Los Altos Hills trying out Robleda…
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!…
