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.

RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK

It was a nice morning to run or walk.  We were at Russian Gulch and it was a calm, overcast and 58 degrees, sort of perfect conditions.  A new runner joined with us today, thanks Katie for bringing Jackie.  Jackie lives locally and hopefully she will continue to run with us.

Though a little early, it has certainly seemed Spring-like, with all the trees beginning to leaf and bloom.  John must be in a Spring mood, pictures of new plants and little critters building nests.

Others present today:  Fran, Bob J., Nancy B., Rick, Shari, Peter, Melissa, Rod, Bob, John, Cyd, Joe, Nancy and Tom (16).

Next Saturday is the Whale Run and Walk.  It is a nice race and supports a good cause.  If you're going, pass the Fog Dodger invite on to all the friends you talk with.

Okay, that's enough Spring stuff.  Hope the remainder of your weekend is fun and hope to see everyone next Sunday!
