You never said how it was to have your first solo trail run. How was that? I know you had others around you at times, but no one the entire time. Did you enjoy the solitude? You were sure tough in the heat! I'm glad it was a good trip. I'll do that one sometime....<BR/>JennyJenny, Maniac #401https://www.blogger.com/profile/12037463658578050523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162202.post-38012125795028166642008-04-14T19:03:00.000-07:002008-04-14T19:03:00.000-07:00That sounds like a GREAT runner you finished with!...That sounds like a GREAT runner you finished with!

My cousin Ryan just ran Diablo and said it also hit the 80s. I guess we sure lucked out at Mt. Si with the perfect weather. <BR/><BR/>What is up with the leaky water bottles? - my bottle and camelbak were leaky/drippy yesterday too. I've never noticed them doing that before; although I didn't mind because it was just water to cool me down. <BR/><BR/>Congratulations Michelle!shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03438995811625866850noreply@blogger.com
