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.

COVID - 19, 2

Another week of Shelter at Home, and it seems to be working!  Mendocino County has held steady at 4 active cases for a couple of weeks.  We had almost an inch of rain overnight and this morning.  That's good for our redwoods but not so good for our worms, and at least a couple of frogs.  Yeah, that's what we found on our local roadway, thousands of worms.  And, I don't for a minute, forget about the rest of world and how Corona Virus is taking it's toll.

We ran and walked our own neighborhoods, and present today:

Easter Bunny is here!
    
Those were a couple of cute things I saw on my walk.

Toni and Joe got their breakfast to go from Kira,  Tom and Nancy will do the same tomorrow.

   John always gets a few really nice photos.

John ran his old neighborhood route and says he had a good run.

I think there will be more Fog Dodgers chiming in later but for now, that's about it.

 I hope we can all stay well and that, as they are saying, "We'll get through this."


NEXT SUNDAY, 4/12,  We'll have to run and walk from our homes.  Let me know how you did! 

 County Shelter in Place Order, pertinent section here:

Allowed: "To engage in outdoor activity, such as walking, jogging, hiking or biking, initiated from one’s residence, which does not involve the use of a motor vehicle or public transit to the location of exercise, such as for example, within walking, jogging, hiking, or biking distance of your place of residence only, provided the individuals comply with Social Distancing Requirements as defined in this Section."
We have had a Fog Dodger Run/Walk every Sunday for almost 22 years now.  This isn't going to stop the Fog Dodgers.  So, I will be walking from my home and I suggest that you do also.  I'd welcome an email ( triley@mcn.org ) from you saying that you were "present".  Give the general area where you walked or ran and if you get an interesting picture or bit of trivia, include that.  I'll post the blog and I bet John can find a picture.  It will be a Multi-venue Fog Dodger Walk/Run!

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN AND WALK @ 7:30 A.M., MENDOCINO AREA (we can do this if we combine it with an essential shopping trip and maintain our social distancing).  Contact Tom if you want to join in but aren't sure where to meet.
