Boldly running where no man has...

A new trail just opened
northwest of town. I came across it by chance and
checked it out (8 mile loop with nice views of the
Sac River) and that left me running back to my car
via the power line roads around dusk. One of the few
local residents saw me and told me to be careful,
they've had mountain lion problems in the area. Did I
make it out alive? Tune in next week to...
OK, not much suspense, eh? I don't know why, it always works on "24" even though we always know Jack is going to survive.
Anyway, no cougars, but I did see a bear as I neared civilization.
I've done about 500 miles in the last 9 weeks, a lot for me (hard core ultrarunners would laugh). I'm feeling good and looking forward to the six-mile Turkey Trot this Thursday (my first "short" race in years) and the 28.4 mile, 10000 feet of climbing (and 10K descending with a total of over 2500 stairsteps) Quad Dipsea next Saturday.
