Today I did a long run at El Corte de Madera Creek Park along Skyline Blvd and I felt great. The run was 2:25 and I covered 18+ miles. I basically did the largest loop possible in the park with an addition of a 5 mile loop including three miles along the Skyline Trail. There…
Smokey
There was an “offshore flow” weather pattern today that brought smoke from fires burning to the north and east of the bay area. It was almost like a mini display of what a volcanic eruption would do to the climate. The smoke was almost like a layer of high clouds and suppressed temperatures until it…
Huddart Run
I had a good run at Huddart Park today despite it being in the middle of the day and quite hot. Huddart is one of the best places to run on a hot day because it is all in thick, shady forest. The run was 76 minutes long, approx. 2,000 feet of gain, and about…
First Day of Classes
Today was the first day of classes of my last year at Stanford Law School. I had tax law in the morning and real estate transactions this evening. Both classes were interesting. Tomorrow I have tax again in the morning and a corporate governance colloquium in the afternoon. This afternoon I had an awesome run…
Run on the Sly 20 Mile Trail Race
This morning I ran the 20 Mile “Run on the Sly” trail race in Pollock Pines, CA. Pollock Pines is located along Highway 50 on the way to South Lake Tahoe. The course was awesome with stellar single track around Jenkinson Lake and just enough hills to make it challenging. Shady running in thick pine…
I’m officially moved in!
I got everything out of my car and into my new studio room (including some heavy books). I also went to the store and bought some household/kitchen items. Almost everything is squared away. It was a tiring job to do by myself and I’m glad it’s over! Today I head out to Pollock Pines, CA…
New Blog Theme
I had the previous theme and header photo (Southern Pickets) for one year and I thought it was time to change the look of my blog. The new header picture is of the Blue Glacier and Mount Olympus. I hope you like it and let me know what you think. Also, I’m back in California….
Lake Youngs Trail
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…
