Lake Ranch Reservoir. 40 degrees, chilly wind, sunny. Waited for Rachel to drive down from SF, so out a little later than usual. R & L couldn't wait at the start, so I was trailing them by over a minute. Ran easily but faster than I would have if they hadn't been ahead of me. Finally caught up with about a mile to go.

Nose still pretty runny, but breathing was good and relaxed. Hips and calves started feeling it towards the end. Both knees ached for a while afterwards but seemed fine later.

[Easy distance w/hills]

Cool down.

The usual weekly accumulation of morning exercises: stretching, strength and balance. As the week wore on and my cold wore off, ramped up so that by week's end I was back to the full set of exercises.

Los Gatos. Walked from the JCC to the top of the Vasona Dam and back. On the way, took a trail by the creek (which I'd never noticed before) instead of the bike path.

Cool but sunny. It was nice to look out over the lake to the green hills.

JCCLG. Ten laps around the large grass field. Distance estimated by pace counting.

First run in ten days (due to having a cold), so taking it easy. Felt OK.

It was really windy at my house, so since I was going to meet L at the JCC anyway (we were going to meet Mike K at Amber India), decided to run there.

At Kevin's. Mostly over my cold, but still a bit congested. Since I hadn't exercised much in 9 days, took it relatively easy - but it was still hard.

With L. Waked on George's road down to McKenzie's, then up our own trail behind the house. Cold is not nearly so bad as it was.

Some improvement in my cold. Late in the day, bundled up and walked up to Greg's driveway and back, about .6 mi, in about 15 minutes.
