Trail Running
We had a great flight to the Bay area. For once in a long time we had no delays or no changes to our flight. We even arrived to our final destination a half hour early. It was very nice.
Friday - We were up early Friday for an interview Mark had in San Francisco. I was happy to enjoy some Peets coffee and catch up on San Francisco news reading the paper. After the meeting we returned to Marin and I did an eight mile run with Liz on the ridge near her house. I felt very tired from our travels and from the first mile of uphill running. However, the longer we ran the better I felt. It was the first time in a long time I was one step ahead of Liz during a run. She is feeling under the weather. I hope she feels better soon. In the afternoon I returned to the city for two more interviews while Mark rested at Liz's house. We went to a nice Italian restaurant for dinner and got to bed early.
Saturday - We got up early and met Frank for a run at Phoenix Lake. Mark ran the first two miles with us and then went back to the parking area. Frank and I continued on an 11 mile loop around the upper lakes and around the perimeter of the golf course. My quad was really sore for the first half hour but then I felt good the rest of the run. My leg aches now so I am hoping with some rest this week it will feel better. This afternoon and evening we will babysit for Sage my niece while Liz and her husband do a scavenger hunt contest in San Francisco. Tomorrow we drive up to Mendocino to begin our mini-course with the students for some hiking, running, and trail work. I can't wait to explore the trails and area.
