Morning run in the fog with the SF running crew. At least the wind wasn't blowing and temps weren't too bad for January. This is was Kim's first time out running with this group and she was nervous about being able to keep up since most everyone runs a little faster pace than she usually does. However I thought she did great and kept up very well with the group including Kay, Carolyn, Kelly, Steve and Neldon. Since my legs were kind of hammered from the faster long run yesterday I held back and ran with this group for a little over halfway when Kim went back up heartbreak hill to head home. I then ran with Hal Amos and John Allan (JohnA on the blog) the rest of the way. We could never quite catch up to the other fellow speedster bloggers that were there today including Josse, Amber and Ali.

Great job today Tom. Did you guys happen to see the Elk this morning? They were out again and there is a couple of big bulls

in the herd. I took a break and watched them for a few minutes, it was cool...

Clay I didn't see the elk, forgot to look for them. Plus I only ran a little bit past GU corner this morning before turning around so I didn't really make it to the prime viewing location. Darn maybe next time I'll remember. Good job on your run.
