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.

POMO BLUFFS, NOYO BAY


I forgot to check the temperature this morning, as I got out of the car, but I believe it was 52 degrees with overcast skies.  That's good for running and walking.  We met at Pomo Bluffs Park and had a nice run or walk across the Noyo Bridge and out around Johnson Rock on the new Noyo Headlands Trail - South.

Thanks to John, for this morning's photos, very colorful!  The seagull shot, he named "Tom's Seagull" because it is one we saw at Big River on Thursday and I mentioned how picturesque it was.

If John had been just a tad slower this morning, he would have seen two river otters.  Ron's sharp eye's spotted those and pointed them out to me.

Present today:  Nancy T., Roger, Nancy B., Rick, Joe, Fran, Charlene, Ron, John, Chandra, Jan, Susan, Bruce and Tom (14).  Afterwards, we were joined by Nancy and grand-daughter Aliya for breakfast at David's.

I think Chandra was hoping for Laura to be present, so she would have someone running her pace (fast!)  It made me realize, that I haven't put in the effort to keep the running part of our group going strong.  I'm guessing that we have 15-20 runners but on any given Sunday, only a half dozen show up.  If any of you know of someone interested in running, please invite them to join with us.
