If I can do it, so can you!

Felicia and I are actually incorporating this run into her training for the Lake Sonoma 50 ultra run. Today's run was a 10 mile out and back starting from Cobblestone trail to Lake Isanjo, and on up. We hit the 5.2 mile mark to give us some extra margin (to ensure a total of 10 miles), and we turned around to go back the same way. 

I was a little cavalier about the elevation change of this run because the day before, we ran/scaled the GRUELING Armstrong Woods trail. And while Armstrong was only 6 miles, the elevation killed my quads. Comparatively, Annadel felt like an easy shakeout. 

If you're new to trail running this course though, you've got to beware. It does actually deliver a lot of elevation changes. And, as you can see, there are a lot of cobblestones on Cobblestone, and Roughgo trail is quite rough. 

Okay, okay, this video is quite long with a lot of dead air. This time, I'm ignoring the watchability of my video, and I'm uploading this selfishly so Felicia and I can revisit this run years from now so we can enjoy the memories together. Enjoy being a voyer.  In this video we banter together and even talk about mundane stuff that you shouldn't care about. And a bonus! we review our nasty Gu energy gels.
