Sunday 16
Recovery day. I felt very good considering all the playing yesterday.
Monday 17
Balter through Campus
It is amazing what a rest day will do for your running. This was an amazing run through the University of Tennessee campus. We even threw in an 8:17 mile 4.
Tuesday 18
Travel to California.
Wednesday 19
I didn't get enough sleep, but I was going to be denied day 1 in California.
Running Around Brea
My first destination was A Snail's Pace Running Store. There I met Bob who told me about a couple trails that I plan to run tomorrow. Next I ran down Brea Highway almost to Fullerton. On the return trip I discovered downtown Brea. It's a nice little area. I ran back there for lunch at Elbow's Mac and Cheese.
Thursday 20
My plans to run both trails might not come to fruition, I don't have a car. Revised plan calls for taking a hotel shuttle to the Chino State Park. This would be about 8-9 miles.
Chino Hills State Park Telegraph Trail
8 mile out and back. Dusty with a chance of rattlesnakes and mountain lions. Oh my!
Friday 21
Earth Day Peter's Canyon 10k Trail Race
My first race in California and my first taste of higher temps this year. This course was rolling and provided little cover from the sun. I employed my walk the hill strategy and it seemed to pay off again, 3rd in my age group and 20th overall.
Saturday 22
Life's a beach. Huntington Beach all day!
