In Zurich. Ran up to Uetliborg. I cheated a little and took the tram from paradaplatz to the trails but I did run all the way back. A bit hazy at the top so the views were not that good.

Trail running | 5.7 miles
During the Cluster Management Offsite Tim, Rune and I decided to explore a bit. We ran up to the summit of Mount Livermore and back down then around to Ayala Cove. Beautiful views of the bay despite some fog. Distance was somewhat longer than I had anticipated 4.8 miles instead of the actual 5.7.
Ran with Kirsten. Parked at Zots; Ran through Arastradero Park and then did the Los Trancos Loop clockwise. Beautiful views once above the fog at about 1600 feet. Stream are pretty low this time of year. Los Trancos creek was dry after the Torin bench.
Beautiful trail run to Sierra Buttes. Switchback Adventures planned
and executed a superb weekend of trail running. Excellent camp ground
and food and trail support.Also thanks to all of the Dips running club for trail entertainment and camaraderie, and of course the trash talk.
Beautiful Tour of the Gold Lakes Area. Thanks to Switchback Adventures for excellent trail running support and camping.Perfect Weather: 60s/70s with cloudless skies.
Though I did terrible in this event I always feel thankful or such a wonderful and exciting trail so close to home.
Ran from Eileen's place to the Bay along Stevens Creek Trail. Nice comfortable pace

My forerunner says this is 26 miles. Everytrail says 27.2 miles before decimation and 24.2 miles after, which leads me to suspect some inaccuracy has crept in. No matter, this felt long. Moving ime was 7 hours. I spent sometime getting water from the creek at Grizzly Flat and at the drinking fountain at Skyline Ridge Nature center.
I felt great until Grizzly flat at which point I started...
The family camped at Samuel P Taylor State Park (site 31). I started this run in late afternoon at 1600 and hoped to make it to the fireroad that descends down to the reservoir. I turned back because I didn't want to be stuck on the trail after sunset. As it turns out I only had to go maybe another quarter mile after my turnaround to hit the fireroad.
Beautiful...
This is probably the hardest sustained climb in Silicon Valley area. It's long and steep. They had recently fixed up the fireroad. It's much smoother and the ankle twisting hazards (made up of fist size rocks) on the last half mile near the top are all gone. Recent rains have also settled the dust. And the day was cool. A perfect day for this tough run.

2 day/1 night fast pack from Zots to Waddell Beach; camped at Slate Creek Trail camp. My Forerunner ran out of battery about 30 miles into trip. I estimated this as approximately 45+ mile trip.
