"Running this as a repeat runner. for 2011.

Not hungover but had sangria last night.

This year the route was different than last year however it was still on the baylands in Palo Alto; nice flat course. However, it wasn't quick, the wind was quite strong. (But maybe that was the effect of the alcohol.)

I would recommend this for any new runners or anyone training for any half. "

"Just ran this for the new year 2010. Although I put 2009 in the year option, really I ran this for 2010.

Apparently I have no life that I was up to run on New Year's Day!!! But really, I ran this on only 4 1/2 hours sleep. No wonder it took me 59:42. Boy was that slow.

This was a nice run along the baylands in Palo Alto. Flat loop run starting at the athletic center going along some streets and then parallel to Hwy 101 on the trail.

As I was running along Hwy 101, I was reminded that just 9 1/2 hours earlier I was a passenger in a car. But I digress.

Running along the baylands, I thought the trail would be good to run with Diva.

The first part of the trail is like any other trail but once out on the baylands, the trail is nice and wide. Ducks and geese would keep Diva running rather than her slowing down.

It was a cool crisp morning.

I'll do this run again next year. After all if I only got 4 1/2 hours sleep, no worries!"
