Ok, that might be a little overstated. I am using my last post from California to share for the first time a new side-blog. I've been semi-working on it for a few months, but never got around to finishing it. It is really only relevant to my Bay Area blog readers, and is specifically an unsolicited favor to my friend Maritza. When we were training for our first marathon together back in 2005, I spent a lot of time researching and planning fun new running routes for each long run. Since then, I have found others and have amassed quite a collection of information. Alas, I am leaving the Bay Area behind, and I want to leave this information for Maritza, Aron, Jenn, Pamela, and any other local runners who are looking for good new routes to run. There are a couple incomplete posts but I'll finish it up soon. And I suppose I'll be adding a Portland section.

We are leaving in the morning. I am excited, nervous, and a little sad. See you on the flip side. :)

I would also like to claim credit that, while Jen did all the hard work of locating, mapping, and getting directions for our long runs while training, I was in charge of breakfast locale.
So I am claiming here and now, credit for finding the home of the 1/2 Pound Cinnamon Roll (see Los Gatos Creek Trail entry)!!!!!!
I MISS YOU and thanks for leaving this for me. :)

A lot of runners are going to love you for all the work you have put into the routes and info.

Safe travels!
Have a safe move. Cali will miss you!
Great idea about the running route site. Wouldn't it be great if someone could pay you to do that full time? You need to be discovered already!
Good luck.
Good luck with the move Jen - hope it's all going well? And I'm sure you'll be able to add some amazing new routes to your site. Great idea!
Don't forget about Forest Park...lots of hills, but lots of great running! Looking forward to seeing your reports of some of my old haunts...
I hope the move is going well!!!!
All the best!
