SCENES FROM TRAINING RUNS ON SAN BRUNO MOUNTAIN

These are various photos I snapped during my last 3 or 4 runs on San Bruno Mountain. This run in my backyard is one of my favorites. The trails aren't super tough, but I can combine a few to make a great run. Plus there are spots that have a view of the bay, of downtown San Francisco, of Mt. Tam and of Mt. Diablo. Yet, a few minutes later I am on a trail that is isolated from everything.
























RUNNING IN A FORST IN ZURICH, SWITZERLAND

This was part of my run back to my hotel.....the run up the hill was a bit harder:



The leaves were an explosion of colors, the weather a bit rainy and cold....what you see in some photos is not fog or smoke, it is my breath.

PACIFIC COAST HIKE



Cori, her brother Derrick and I decided to spend a few hours doing about a 10 mile hike from Grey Whale cove to the North Peak. There was some nice climbs and great views.

























Near of the end of the hike, beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean welcomed us back.
