"You don't need any skill to run.........Every 3-year old knows how to run." -- Amby Burfoot, The Runner's Guide To The Meaning Of Life

I failed to heed my own advice from last week, forgot to use mosquito repellant!  I don't think they've ever been worse!  I theorize that it was because Bob and John ran out just a little in front of us, stirred  or woke them up and then along came us, the victims!  Usually, we run away from the little guys as soon as we start running, but not today, they stuck right with us!  Other than the mosquitoes, it was a perfect morning, 56 degrees, calm and a little sunshine thru the high clouds and fog.

Thank you, John, for this morning's pictures.

Sarah came back for her second run but I think her son, Andrew, slept in.  It's nice to have another runner.  Pat and Leon were there, and I see that their names were on last week's blog, even if I was told they weren't! (I think someone is trying for a little extra credit!)  Also present today:  Geri, Nancy B., Nancy T., Roger, Joe,  Neil, Zelda, Cheryl, John, Bob, Nancy and Tom (15).

Pat wants me to remind everyone that walkers are also invited to our midweek runs/walks at Russian Gulch and Van Damme.  I know, 7:00 am comes early for walking.   It's nice though, because it gets your day off to a good, early start.  If you want to walk on Tuesday or Thursday, I suggest that you get in touch with Pat, probably easiest by leaving a comment below.

It's been awhile since we've gone up to Ten Mile River.  It should be just right for picking blackberries, and so,

NEXT SUNDAY,  Aug. 3 @ 8:00 A.M.:  TEN MILE RIVER LOGGING ROAD, see "Our Routes" above.  Bring a coffee can or plastic bag or something if you want to take home some blackberries.  There should be gazillions there!

EVERY TUESDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of its south end.

EVERY THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
