A great day for running in Southern California -- maybe even too warm. Today I ran over 29 miles in under 5 hours, a pretty good time in hills at my age for a training run with nobody to run against. This run takes me from my home in Newhall to White's Pass in Canyon Country, a modest little mountain pass. It then drops down into Saugus. I catch Copper Hill Road and then head south near the 18 mile marker on the City's river path trail. That takes me close to the I5 freeway and across my favorite spot in the entire run, an old railroad bridge crossing. I then head south on Tourney and Tournament Roads.
It is a great run because the first 10 miles are flat, running up the Santa Clara River so I can pour it on and wear myself out for the pass ascent right after that.
And, I exceeded 50 miles this week with only three running days!
