was going to water run but forgot a swimsuit. then I thought about the elliptical and spinner bike. but them I found Carol R. running laps in the indoor track so just joined her for five miles, two of them in five fingers. ran 8 100 yard strides just to break up the monotony. a bunch of people decided today would be a nice day to play indoor cricket on the indoor track in the fieldhouse so we had lots of fun dodging them. I guess it is really a track/cricket field.

43 minutes of water running. whee

San Marcos CA pedestrian/equistraian trail system, packed dirt, absolutely perfect for the five fingers. did 5.1 miles inthe fives, then switched into shoes for 2.4 more putting in about 6 strides. averaged 7:10 for the workout.

sixty degrees at 9AM, sunny, beautiful clear air, lots of oxygen. running at 7:10 pace here feels like 7:45 pace in Logan.

well, the kids were all preoccupied with new video games so I took off and went to explore Daley ranch again. Last December I went in from Cougar pass, big mistake, huge nasty uphill climb, too much for me. so this year I tried going on from Valley center road first. nope, another mistake, still a killer climb and I had to give up after 1.3 miles and go back. So then I drove to the main entrance on La Honda drive. I should have done that to start with. After a 0.4 mile steep uphill climb up an asphalt access road  the nice level soft dirt trails began on a fairly level high plateau and there was some incredible trail running with amazing scenery. I did the middle pond/east ridge/jack creek meadow loop. a great run, anyone coming to the San Diego area should do this one for sure. and lots of harder technical stuff for true trail runners. ran about a 9:05 average including the nasty nasty hill I did on castillo trail to start.

San Marcos pedestrian/equistrian trails. 0.9 mile warmup, then 5 mile tempo at 6:30 average pace. then 0.46 mile cooldown.
