Secret Trail  12/16/2007
 Our run Sunday was slightly chilly, but gorgeous. The use of the trail by mountain bikers is exacting a toll on the condition of part of this course.  As a result, many of us find it safer to concentrate on our feet rather than the scenery when running.  We missed Kai, because of  back problems, and hope he will be back soon in his usual great spirits.

That Is Why Women Have the Babies

This is the story of Mieko.  She joined Trail Runners in July of this year.  Prior to that, she would occasionally run 3-4 miles.  Last weekend, she did an ultra, and this is her account of the event.  Pretty incredible!!!

Ernie's Run/Westridge
It's amazing how a slight variation to a mundane run can make it seem new and exciting.  This is definitely the case with Ernie's Run.  Westridge is a nice enough out-and-back, but adding in the long, gentle downhill of Sullivan Canyon turns a pretty plain run into one of my favorite keyhole courses.  That last little climb back up to Westridge always seems longer than I remember, but still completely worth it.

Chantry Flats
How about that Chantry Flats run last Sunday?  I guess there wasn't anything flat about it.  Thanks to Ernie for that tip about the "little" hill at the end  ;)

San Francisco Report

Well, we all made it back from San Francisco, and it was a great weekend!  Thanks to Michael and Kimberly, the lodging was great and very affordable and the restaurants were great.  The run Saturday was from Point Reyes (Bear Valley) --a beautiful forested up and down 18+miler with fantastic vistas and a beach waterfall.  After brunch and a shower, we were treated to the aerial show by the Blue Angels.  The next morning was a beautiful short 7-miler up to Mt.

Lake Tenaya to Yosemite Valley 2007

Well, there was a lot of anticipation and apprehension before our Yosemite adventure—a 17+ - mile personal challenge for each of us who took the bus to Tenaya Lake. Of course, to add to our butterflies, the bus was 30 minutes late, but we all took that in stride, even though that meant we would encounter the warm temperatures earlier—no problem!
