Los Gatos Creek Trail. 42 degrees, drizzle stops as we start. Run to dam with Rickey and Phillip, back with just Phillip (who picked it up the last half mile). Pretty easy, though hamstrings felt very tight on uphills and when we picked up at end.

Start and finish at the overpass behind California Cafe

The usual weekly accumulation of morning stretching.

Norma's class, with Louise. After a terrible night's sleep (maybe 3 hours all together), was not feeling too chipper at the beginning, and Louise had a migraine. I think that seeing our condition, Norma made the class a little easier, which was just fine by me. Actually felt better after class than before.

Front of house. Sunny, 40 degrees, hardly any wind. Hamstrings surprisingly tight, but intended to run easy and I did - actually surprised time was as fast as it was.

Cool down

Travel back to Los Gatos. Never did get on German time. Mighty tired by the time we get home.

Walking tour of two ancient castles, including the one presumed to be the home of Dr.Frankenstein.

Darmstadt. Nice run along forest paths with Felix, Louise and Rachel. Lower calves still a bit sore from running on the treadmill, but really not a problem while running (more evidence that running on a treadmill is not like actual running). Pretty dark when we started running but sunny by the end. A balmy 52 degrees.
