In search of old age PRs

Hilly course through several canyons.  I found a few new trails and followed one of them to the Del Mar golf course area.  Someone had cut a hole in the fence allowing access into the guard gated community and homes.  It was nice to think that some home owner did it, but it was probably trail runners...ha!  Actually, the people in the community did not seem to mind.  I need to explore the rest of the trails in that neighborhood in the coming weeks.

My foot was a little sore on Sunday.  It has been hurting off and on for a few years now.  Its a dull pain on the ball of my left foot and I can feel it up my toes.  I may try to change up shoes and look for an improvement.
 

Run in PQ canyon.  Tried a new trail that had "no trespassing" signs on it.  It was a nice trail, but had a steep pitch back into the canyon.  It would have been difficult to ski.  I ended up sliding on my rear end--Timpinagos Glacier flash backs!

I ran into a heard of deer at mile 5.  I was about 20 feet away, but the deer weren't spooked at all...weird.

Easy run around the creek in PQ canyon.  I saw several deer at mile 2.  I was a little winded around mile 3 for some reason, so slowed down a little until the last mile.  I ran into some kids fishing at the creek.  They had caught 12 bass out of the little creek.  Someone must have stocked a small area of the creek.  It may be fun to try a small fly rod...if it is even legal to fish there.

11 miles in Rancho Bernardo and Poway.  I was tired of running in Carlsbad, so I meet another runner at RB High School.  It was a nice loop and we took it slow (sub-9 pace).  Next week I will meet up with the Carlsbad group for 18-20 miles.

The High School had a nice track.  I will have to start speed work up again in January after the Holidays.
