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.

MacKerricher Haul Road

"Except for .001 percent of the running population, everyone's in the same exact position: there will always be people slower than you, and people faster."__ "Ask Miles," Runner's World.

Mornings don't get much prettier than today's.  John's photo above shows how it looked but the photo doesn't tell how it felt.   It was 51 degrees, with a fairly strong southerly breeze.  It was dry-like and balmy (?),  you know, the way it is just before a rain.  Maybe it wasn't warm balmy but it was really nice and very pretty.

After the run/walk, we all gathered at the Riley's for our Annual Holiday Potluck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange.  I'm still eating cookies as I type!  Darn it!  Not too many were left though, and I'm thankful for that.  It was a wonderful breakfast and great group of friends!  Thanks to everyone for contributing and attending.
