Big River Logging Road

John's picture above shows how pretty the morning was.  It was 51 degrees with a pretty good northerly breeze and partially cloudy skies.  Once we got going up river, it was really a perfect morning to be out for a run or walk.

Yesterday, about 10 Fog Dodgers ran in the Big River Salmon Run.  Tony and Janis were each  First Place in the 10K.  Five of us; Nancy, Bob, Tom, Cyd and Chandra were age group winners in the 5K and John, in a tougher division, was Second Place for the 5K.  John's caption above is only part of the story, but thanks John.  I should also add, that Chandra's husband Chris (not sure whether he has joined the Fog Dodgers on any Sundays ??), taking turns with Chandra pushing the baby jogger, got Third Place in his age group.

Present today:  Deb, Sam,  Tony (Healdsburg), Toni, Joe, Fran, Neil, Jennifer, Nancy T., Roger, Cyd, John, Nancy and Tom (14).

Next Sunday, we will do our Sixth Annual Bin-2-Bin-2-Bin Run/Walk.  Meet in front of Harvest Market and be ready to go at 8:00.   You buy an item of food for the Food Bank and drop it in the bin there and then head to Safeway, buy another food item and drop it in their bin, then head to Purity if you're a runner or back to Harvest if you're walking.  You finish up by buying one last item at Harvest Market and putting it into their Food Bank bin.  These food items needn't cost much, just whatever you'd like to donate to the Food Bank.  Save your receipts, they are deductible on tax day.  No matter what the weather is like, running or walking across the Noyo Bridge early in the morning is really beautiful.  Total time usually 50-60 minutes.

NEXT SUNDAY, NOV. 22 @ 8:00 A.M.:  BOAT YARD CENTER, Bin-2-Bin-2-Bin Run/Walk, please read the above paragraph.

EVERY TUESDAY and THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.:  GROUP RUNS, BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD.
