The weather was fantastic, the location incredibly scenic, and the climbs went well. Overall, a great trip in the Sierra mountains. Stay…

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…

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.
Los Altos Hills Run
Yesterday I ran for 75 minutes with Hari at Los altos Hills. It was a great run! The Los Altos Hills City has an ordinance requiring cinder paths alongside the roads and open spaces for the many horse owners in the community. The result is a network of trails providing road-free running for miles. It’s…
Week Update
I just got back from a great climb in the Sierra mountains. On Saturday we did a mountaineering trip with summits of the North Face of Mount Darwin and Mount Mendel in Kings Canyon National Park. Today (Sunday) we did some alpine rock climbing, doing the Matthes Crest out of Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National…
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…
