DIPSEA RUN A BLAST!!
Everyone had a nice time running the Dipsea. Yours respectfully got to the top of the stairs and decided to call it a day on all those uphills. I did drive up to above insult and ran the moors, etc. so as to get in about 3.5 miles total--only 1/2 of what everyone else proudly ran. Many thanks to the birthday boy, Russ Kiernan, for the guided tour of everything that makes the Dipsea. I think that our group was very motivated to try the Dipsea this season. Don't forget that you need to request an application early (www.dipsea.org) and that the application needs to be sent in on the date required. Also, don't forget that the Dipsea does offer college scholarship money to dipsea participants--another reason to do it!!! Our very own Briana Van Epps was a Dipsea scholar winner!!

Full Moon Run without the Moon!! Oh wait, there it is!!
We had lots of fun at tonights full moon run. We finally saw the moon on our way out!!
Still, the challenge of running in the dark and seeing the city lights was awe inspiring.
Congrats to those who ventured the full 5.36 miles, with over 1000 feet in elevation climbing.
Go to Photos to see all the fun!

Golden Gate Bridge--a first for many!!
A group of twelve teens and a handful of adults ran or walked across the Golden Gate Bridge today. It was a nice cool, foggy morning--perfect running weather. Congrats to all those who have never run or even walked across the Golden Gate Bridge. You are the envy of those who have never made the journey. For many of us, we come back each year to recognize the annual Avon Breast Cancer walk that takes place the same morning. Coach probably had the record today for the most "high-5s". Other firsts included probably the longest runs ever by many of you--some ran the full round-trip of the bridge which is 1.80 miles each way--for a total of 3.60 miles. Others extended their run down to Chrissy Field and the Fort below--for a total of 7.40 miles!!!
Photos are found at the photos link....

Stinson Beach is Wet and Wild!!
Over "20" runners ran up and down Stinson Beach to cool off from the Marin County heat wave. We even went in the water afterwards--to cool off those aching legs and feet!! The run was followed by a nutritious meal at the beach. Fun for all!!!
Photos can be found at photos link...
