    great Towsley 5.31 mi 01:00 11:14 pace

    Ran the loop clockwise. Oddly, i acquired a giant blood-blister underneath my left big-toe. That's never happened before. Didn't even realize there was an issue until i got home. C'e... read more

    great Santa Clara River Trail 4.01 mi 00:38 09:35 pace

    Played a game with the border collie: we'd leap-frog each other. I'd start out running in front of her, then she'd pick up the pace, get in front of me and slow down. Then i'd p... read more

    good Towsley 6.4 mi 01:12 11:11 pace

    A solid run. 1,445 feet of elevation gain. I'm pleased with my pace. Besides the usual smells of sage, and beautiful Valley Oaks, Sycamores, and Aspens that are the eye candy on this trip - Sp... read more

    great S. Fork Trail/Santa Clara River 6.56 mi 01:07 10:10 pace

    Very windy. I could feel the resistance while running into the wind. The Border Collie was happy, she normally doesn't run today, so she was delighted when i grabbed her collar. Doing my runs ... read more

    great South Fork Trail/Santa Clara ... 5.85 mi 00:54 09:16 pace

    Nice and easy. Took the border collie. About 80 degrees here in Santa Clarita. I love running in the warmer temperatures. Certainly getting faster at the same heart-rate (75% of max). Nothing fancy... read more

      I parked at the Upper Merry-Go-Round lot; which i think is close to the golf courses. Wanna hit the trails sometime together?

      yeah we def should. I come at griffith from the observatory side because I lie about a mile away from the Trails Cafe/Fern Dell entrance so i literally run there. But lets DM and figure out when we can meet up. Definitely need to explore that side of GP a little more...i just get lazy because the Fern Dell route is close and I get my UP fix quick
