The Fog Dodgers invite all residents and visitors of the Mendocino Coast to join us on our weekly group runs and walks. We have runners and walkers of all abilities (and even some bikers) and we have only one "rule" - we start at exactly 8:00 a.m. on Sundays. Exercise at your own pace (1/2 hour out, 1/2 hour back) and experience the fresh Mendocino coastal air.

Fog Dodgers provides a fun, safe way to explore some of our local trails and back roads and to meet new friends. You can find out where we're going to be by reading the bottom of last week's post, then clicking on the "Our Routes" tab above. We average 15-20 persons each Sunday and typically half will go to breakfast together afterwards at a nearby restaurant.

Caspar Logging Road

"When I was small I was very naughty and my father chased me with his belt to give me a thrashing.  Maybe that was how I got accustomed to running."  Fermin Cacho, 1992 Olympic 1500 Champion

Another thank you to Fran, for bringing along another friend, Reba, for her second visit.  Fran is one of our best recruiters!  Also present today, Geri, Gay, Mark, Craig, Greg, Henry, Nancy B., Rick, Tonita, Bob, Don, John, Ginny, Terry, Neil (I think?), Kathy, Steve, Waldi, Joel, Melissa, Nichole, Pat, Leon, Nancy and Tom (27).

It was 51 and overcast at our start.  Coming back, the fog lowered and the breeze picked up.

I'm not sure about our starting point today, seemed like a long and straight uphill to me.  It does give us another option though and that's a good thing!

The  TUESDAY GROUP WALK is gaining momentum.  Two the first week, three last week and five expected for next Tuesday.  Come join in, get an hour of walking in and finish by 8:00 a.m.  It's a great way to start your day!
