I don't even know where to start?
I don’t even know where to start?
Maybe concisely. I went running near Victorville, CA, at a spot I would find out is a cruising spot for gay men.
AAND here are the pictures:
I went northwest, thinking to avoid some parked cars. Discovered RVs, dogs and turned the other way.
Thought I wouldn’t run into anyone, as I was followinf a utility road. Nope. First car was a guy naked except for shoes and socks. Taking a bath?…

No photos, just foot pain
Don’t know any pithy thing to say but here are some thoughts:
It wasn’t so stupidly hot today which was really nice. Fuck climate change. Fuck 90° heat. Doesn’t nature know I can’t be running at night anymore?
I was bored running Griffith Park but it was still good. Stupid horses killed the 9 miles, but I got 8 and 1:30 so win?
Kind of worried about how much I won’t be ready for Joshua Tree,…

A Hiatus of Fear
I haven’t shared in a while. Like months.
I am going to keep it short. When I saw no one responding, or checking this out, I became discouraged. I was trying to be cool. Trying to look good.
Sigh.
Dealing with my runner’s knee, not being able to tell if it’s that or the new Altas and their shift in gait, and just generally being in pain killed the fun
And what is the fun?
I don’t know anymore.…

A second week
3 runs again. They each served a point and some served two.
Run 1:
Whittier Narrows, heading to the bike path
Turnaround point, almost at the 10 freeway
Run 2:
Vasquez Rocks, Agua Dulce, CA
Run 3:
Lake Balboa Recreational River, Van Nuys, CA
The first run was both distance and heat. Boring to a certain extent because running along a dry riverbed means you see the same thing for miles. The…

3 runs, 3 different reasons
3 runs, 3 different reasons
There are a lot of photos to share…three places familiar and two with further and farther runs…
The Lario Bike Trail, off the Whittier Narrows, Whittier, CA
Didn’t even know Rio Hondo rolled this deep
My second run…
LA Historic State Park, fka the Corn Field, Chinatown, Los Angeles, CA
And my third run:
The Pacific Coast Trail, south of the Devil’s Chair, Juniper Hills, CA

No medals, no shirt, no park, but all elevation
No medals, no shirt, no park, but all elevation
The plan was to go to Montana. Run a Vacation Races 1/2 marathon. That…that did not happen. Instead:
Big Bear Lake, CA, on the northshore
Looking at Fawnskin at the 5 mile turnaround point
Alpine Pedal Path
The Kissing Bridge, on miles 11-13
What happened instead was an adventure in itself. We went to the airport, tried to find a place to go, ended up in our car and going up the mountain…

Training for the run
I haven’t really taken many photos. But I did do the runs:
Giffith Park and the pinche sun
LA River…again
The Rose Bowl, but different
Chino Hills, Sierra Loop Trail, some place new
I did the runs to do the time for the Glacier half marathon. Each was fun and only one was a fail, the last one…
The sun was shite on the first run and good training for the ugly ugly heat. The overcast sky made the…

Everything changes
Not much new to share except for the following:
I went to Lake Balboa Recreation Area, not to be confused with the Balboa Park in San Diego.
This run sucked.
My back hurt for most of the run, I saw a woman wearing Trump supporter and it was generally warm. I was bored for the most part because it was about getting the run done, but best part was trying to find a place to pee.
Male privilege. It’s…

My body told me where to run
Some good views happened:
The Whittier Narrows, CA
This is more the Narrows
A road no one uses?
Beware the duck shit
Legg Lake
I knew I was going to run, but I didn’t expect to go to the Whittier Narrows. It’s an interesting place because it’s so much larger than most people realize and so very not white. La gente are out, doing their exercise and the only place I saw white folk is the small…

Support your kids!
I did that thing I do!
Theodore Roosevelt High School, Boyle Heights, CA
I got to support my students today. FYI, for those who aren’t my friends looking at this, I am a highschool teacher. And every semester, my 9th graders run 3 miles.
Showing support means doing the run with them. I’ve done it almost every semester, and this time I made sure I focused on having fun and not just running fast.…

A hard to share run
The San Gabriel River, Duarte, CA
A week later almost and I finally was able to process why I wasn’t keen on sharing this run. Proud I did it, but the joy wasn’t there. It was a route I’ve done in weather I try avoid.
This run started well, turned out hard. I didn’t know it was going to wear me out, but it did. And it’s strange because it seems so straightforward. I go to a park, run…

No clever title, just a desert run
First the pictures…
Start point, Avenue T, out about 5 miles
That hill there is around mile 4!
Farmland at the 6 mile point
Creosote flowers
This run was a good one. It was simple, easy and I went a mile further. The wind, the sun and the air fresh. I used the new windbreaker I felt might have been a waste of money.
Weird moments always happen. I came closer to the DIY gun range (bunch of…

Making the best of it
So not many pictures…
The Rose Bowl, south side, near Pasadena, CA
The hardest part, 1 mile or some of incline
I wanted to go far and not very familiar. Work and traffic and weather said make due with what you can. I was tempted to do the trails, but the sun setting and the wet rocks felt like my ankles would be very mucb in danger. So I played it safe and kept my word.
The best part were the…

Beer Sweats and After Rain Cloudy Days
Running the river is just as good as biking it:
Off Fletcher, near the 5 in Glendale or Los Feliz.
East bank of the LA River, north of Los Feliz Blvd
A detour into a small overgrown park
Frogtown, for the folks who know…
The end point view of a 10 mile run
So yesterday made this run a cleanse. Too much beer, too much let down over Game of Thrones. The first 1.5 miles was nothing but ugly…

Running around the Dead
Nothing says your community does not receive the attention it deserves when the common exercise space is the cemetery perimeter.
Evergreen Cemetery, Boyle Heights, CA
Going east on the south side
Going west on the north side
I ran the bridges like normal and extended the route to the exercise landmark of Boyle Heights. It felt good to see folk running, walking, exercising. I don’t use the route…

Two Runs, old but fun
I didn’t do any crazy runs, I did comfortable and familiar. Going to say a little bit about these places before the pics.
Griffith Park, starting at the Zoo Magnet, is the easiest run there is for me. I’ve run it so much in the last 12 years that by year 3 I was doing it in the dark. I know every place that tries to claim your ankles. And I know everywhere to extend the run. I can do it fast or…

One week later
I am back to form, and visiting old haunts…
Let’s see what this text looks like…Lake Balboa Recreational Area, near the 101 and 405 interchange
Found another dam to run
This run showed me how much I’ve gone away from doing laps. Two laps around the Balboa main park area and I could have been done. The thought though made me so so very bored.
So I took to other areas I’ve explored and went…
