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.

"In a world that's quickly becoming so fast-paced that multi-tasking is a way of life, runners have managed to find a way to do something that's good for our heads, bodies, and spirits, and that provides wonderful social interaction." -- John Bingham

It was a perfect morning for walking or running at MacKerricher State Park.  At our start time, it was 46 degrees, sunny and calm.   The ocean was beautiful with about 5 surf breaks.   About half the group went north and upon the beach.  Half went south.

 The tide was on it's way out and there was plenty of wet and almost flat sand to run and walk on.  Again, there were hundreds of broken sand dollars but I never saw a whole one.  They seem so solid, it's hard for me to grasp why they all end up broken.  

 Present today:  Toni, Joe, Gay, Mark, Fay, Donna, Nancy T., Roger, Nancy B., Rick, Greg, Joel, Nichole, Katie, Charlene, Ron, Fran, John, Nancy and Tom (20).

 Donna's mom, Jewell, one really sharp 92 year old (?), joined us for a great breakfast at David's.
