Ran a mile in 6:23

Also ran about 2 miles to the track, including the 3/4 mile uphill on Mulholland. Beautiful tartan track at Calabasas High. Not a great time for the mile. I was tired!

Ran about 5 miles

Ran the other way down Mulholland, paved, towards Valley Circle. It was cold but sunny. Felt good. I am gaining stamina.

Ran to Lookout Point before dawn

A very bright moon lighted the way. The whole valley was a Christmas tree of lights twinkling in the dark.

Ran 4 miles, to Lookout Point

Well, we call it Lookout Point because you can see the whole Valley from there. It was warm like summer! Like So Cal! Felt strong -- consistent training is paying off.

Played tennis over the weekend

It was nice.Intially it was cold and windy.Later it was really good.
But I had to stop since my ankle sprain.

Walked/ran 5 miles

Jane and I walked along Mulholland Drive and then cut across the wild land on a trail, descending to a park in the valley. Then I ran home and picked her up with the car on the way to grocery shopping at Trader Joe's where they gave us yummy free coffee and quinoa vegetarian & bean sample dish. Life is good!

Deedee and Jake

Ran about 4 miles along the Mulholland trail this morning. Met Deedee and Jake. Deedee says she runs because of Jake, because Jake is a black Labrador Retriever and they get chubby because they eat anything and everything.

Deedee told of how she grew up in Culver City and would ride horseback with her friends to a ranch in the area of DeSoto Avenue, spend the night and ride home the next day.

She also spoke of a Wild Bill's ranch near Calabasas. This would be Wild Bill of the Wild Bill Show of course. And Bill's speciality was training cutting horses, as in the control of one's herd.

I told her she should write a blog.

Ran 8 miles on Mulholland

It was cold! Not too muddy.

Six Miles on the Trails

 
It was cold, but not too cold. The crisp air gave wonderful views. Could see the snow on the Sierras. Green is bursting from the ground everywhere after the rains.

Ran 6 miles in the Santa Monicas

It was a long run for me - need to get in shape! But it was perfect weather and I could see forever - so pretty!

Ran 4 Miles on the Beach, Swam

Santa Monica Bay sunrise was very beautiful this morning. Long, slow swells rolled in to the shore and beyond the breakers the water was smooth with little bubbles floating in the reflections of dawn's pinks and blues.

Ran about 5 miles on Zuma Beach

Ran the length of Zuma beach yesterday. And that means I had to run back too, so to the ends and back. It felt like 5 miles or more, but it was soft sand and I was running barefoot so it might have been only 4.

Took a refreshing swim at the end.

The beach was packed and I've never seen so many lifeguards on duty, plus they had a lifeguard boat out in the water. The sun was shining and the water was a delicious blue-green. So nice!

Rock climbers were doing the cliffs at the lower end. One man was even doing it barefoot! But they were all using ropes.

(Sorry, did not take any pictures!)

Ran 15 miles in Mailbu Creek on Saturday

Running through the Sagebrush

Summer thinks its time has come already but Spring persists in her burst of wildflowers.

I ran about 5 or 6 miles along dirt Mulholland and the trails this morning. It was very hot. The yellow mustard blooms have passed their peak and the sagebrush is now taking the crown of blossoming glory. So many butterflies...

Played tennis for 1hour yesterday

Played ping pong for 1/2 hour on sunday + Workout 1/2 hour

Ran 5 miles on Dirt Mulholland

The wildflowers were breathtaking! Too bad I didn't have my camera.

Ran 3 miles in the starlight last week. It was late when I got home but I had to run. No moon. I ran up Mulholland. I took a side road in the darkness thinking it would take me back to the suburbs but it was a dead end. It was interesting running through the thick trees where even the starlight was blotted out. Could not see a thing. More than once I heard rustling in the bushes. More than once I looked over my shoulder. Fun!

How do you run on an uneven dirt road in the dark without a light? You have to sense the road and just know where to step.

Played tennis for 1 hour tonight

Played badminton for 1.5 hours on sunday .It was refreshing

Ran 5 miles on Dirt Mulholland

Working day and night for days and nights with only a break to eat, sleep and shower (maybe) can be hard. At the start of the run I felt sluggish, felt bad. After a few miles I started feeling better and started looking at the great views and the snow on the mountains and breathed the crisp air. So good!

Mike, two of his friends and I hiked into the Mineral King Wilderness over the weekend. We probably walked about 12 miles but with about 7,500 feet elevation gain (per GPS), plus carrying packs for two nights camping, so it was tough! Truly spectacular vistas – highly recommended to all.

Sunday 7th, Achievable Race 5 Km

 
Century City hosted a great race through the streets, complete with Laker Girls and a "Battle of the Bands" afterwards where four bands competed for a $10K prize! I did not win anything but my team members both placed!

There were 11,000 runners. They all wore red shirts. There were bands playing. There was a rock concert at the end in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. It was fun!

My son is on the basketball team for his school and his practices forced him to wait some time afterschool until his practice starts. So we changed his schedule and now he starts school at 845AM instead of 750AM. What does it have to do for this blog?
Well, I get one extra hour in the morning! Today was the first day so I went out and ran a mile. I walk frequently but ran today after few months!

Yesterday I walked 1.5 miles at work.

I know you are wondering why I am so punctual in posting my walks/runs on this blog? Well, after joining this blog, I started a blog of mine on blogger.com/blogspot.com. So currently I am visiting blogspot.com regularly....and so there are regular posts from me.

Walked 3 miles on Saturday morning. Plus 2 miles in the evening with Arian in the stroller.

The above map shows last lag of my quick and favorite walk in Westlake- around 3 miles round-trip and gives 300 feet or so elevation gain. A good alternate when there is no body to accompany on hiking! Gets heart pumping in few minutes.
