Well, I wouldn't exactly call this a new trail or even a mileage worth mentioning, but hey-- I RAN YESTERDAY!!!I went out yesterday with Jenn and Neko, and we did a whole bunch of walking-- we started up this trail (notice the exceptionally blue sky showing through) and then ended up doing the cow-infested Mezue Trail. Fortunately, this
time we had only one tricky cow moment and I figured out my foot was fine to run when the cow started lumbering at us and I decided it would be a good time for Neko and I to start running away from the cow.
It was a glorious day yesterday though-- the air was crisp and clear. Fall is definitely my favorite time of the year in the Bay Area and I'm glad that my foot got better in time to do at least a little running before the rain.
Yes, you heard it right-- a little running! I ran a mile yesterday! I did not want to push it, so I thought I'd try just a short run, and I am absolutely ecstatic to report that it was fine-- I am definitely not in "running" shape, but my foot feels great this morning and I think I will try to run a little more (2 miles?) on Tuesday.
So all is good. Hope everyone is enjoying the great fall weather...

I think as runners, we can appreciate fall a lot more than other people can. Congratulations on being able to run. It must have felt soooooo good.
Victoria,
That's great.
Coming back from an injury I find it easier to "fake it". I don't try to run as much as I can, I just go for a walk and put a few seconds of running every once in a while (even only 10/15" and then walk for minutes). I build from there gradually increasing the running and decreasing the walking.
Hope you'll be running around soon in cowless trails ;-)
Sooooooo, that's what it takes to get you running: A wild cow! Glad you are back out there, V!
Thanks, people!
I agree, Luciano-- I am definitely holding myself back and not running as much as I can. I feel like I could have run more (and I felt great the next day too) but I'm going to take my time...
p.s. I will be in Europe over New Year's-- Spain and not Italy, but I'm looking forward to some new trails!
Good to hear Victoria. The march to 50 starts now.
Glad you're on the mend! If cows are your biggest worry, life is good.
Ah good to know the foot is better. So I got lumbered at by a cow at the Ohlone 50k 2 years ago, you're saying that this is a common occurence?! Anyway enjoy the Fall weather. I heart Fall.
