Monday morning run
well i somehow made it out of bed at 5:20 am to run w/my larkspur friend. we ran for 52:21...the winter morning loop...(except instead of going around the COM track we just ran over the bridge and along the bike path).
my friend also ran out in pt. reyes yesterday (she ran about 11 miles more than i did). we were both a bit tired from that ...so we just took it easy, chatted the entire time...and were surprised when the run ended relatively quickly.
it was a bit nippy out. i did however overdress-- wearing a long sleeve shirt, short sleeve shirt , sweatshirt and gloves...
towards the end of the run....i heard this crazy loud harsh barking noise..i thought i was hearing a pack of hungry , angry, wild dogs...in the dark you can imagine pretty much anything .....i was about to redirect my friend and i to avoid this miserable pack of hounds (in the middle of lovely suburbia)...when to my good fortune i heard the splash of the water and finally a little quacking and realized my misperception!--it was just a pack of lively ducks!

Hi Liz, great job getting up so early for the run this morning especially after the long run yesterday. I am impressed. Awesome job! The team of ducks was a funny incident! Hope you can get some sleep tonight! Rest up!!

Your run write-ups *always* take me back to my Cali days. The trails and the hiking are really the only thing I miss out there (admittedly that's a big thing, though!) I went camping several times out at Pt Reyes in college ...
