Event: 2008 Laramie Daze & US Champs
 

Went for a long run in Antony Chabot. It was a perfect day for a run, and great scenery, although the trails are a bit too 'road like' for my tast. It was only my second time in that park.

For the first 8 miles or so, I wound up following a 50km race route in reverse. I didn't see any runners until I passed the finish line about 6 miles in, where I stopped for a short break. Here is the website for the race. http://www.skyline50k.us/

I was feeling awfully hungry when I passed all the BBQers at the Lake Chabot marina. Walnuts and bananas just aren't the same as hot dogs and burgers.

Evening run in Tilden.

There were lots of bats out near the Gillespie Camp, kindof creepy after the rabid bat warning last week. Lots of chalk arrows out too, probably the weenies, but maybe there was a race last weekend.

Little twinge of pain near left knee, when walking downhill. (1-2 inches below and left of kneecap, on front). Took this as sign to rest, and did laundry today.

Both slow (82 second) laps happened when I got stuck behind other runners. I don't understand how some people jog so sIow during recovery.
