GOING THE DISTANCE

This occurred on Friday July 1st.  

Am  -  Got up really early to run with Alex before heading up state to Redwood national park.  We'd been in Yosemite since Tuesday, hiked half dome and such.  For our run we headed down the valley, at fist on the roads, which amazingly are empty at 5:30 am.  Eventually we made it onto some single track through some meadows.  We saw a lot of deer and like 4 bucks.  Everything was quiet and Yosemite falls and Half Dome and El Capitan were all looking so majestic and everything.  I'm gonna miss America.  

Am -  I've been on a sick trip with my fam and did some awesome runs.

On this day we ran on some single track in redwood national park.  It was so sick!  Super lush forest with massive redwood trees  and soft trail.  Perfect weather too like 60 degrees.  Didn't see any ewoks though.

This occurred a week earlier on June 28th.

Am -  Stayed the night in Giant Sequioa national park.  Coolest trees ever their so massive.  Ran in the morning with Alex and dad. We took a nice single track trail up to a lovely Sierra Nevada waterfall.  

Pm -  Drove out to Sand Hallow at about 3 and ran with the xc guys.  Good time, not too hot.  They got a nice crew of fun loving guys, the next few years will be dope for them.  We swam after and Alex tried a gainer it was swag.

Getting a drink at Maverick after, I truly realized how blessed I am to live in the USA and to live in a great American city and run practically anywhere without having to worry about being in danger.  El Salvador will be such a epic culture change.

Am -  Ran Church Rocks with Alex.  We were both really tired and it was pretty rough going.  It was fun, but also fairly sucky.  But we still averaged 8:24 pace so not bad.
