It was cold and wet enough that I wore long pants for the run.   I hope it will be the only day this year I have to pull them out of the drawer.  I was grateful that I had them and my legs were grateful that I wore them.

So here’s the recap of this week’s Heartbreak Ridge climb.  The rain was steady during the entire hike up and run down.  The trail up to the ridge was better than expected.  There was some standing rain and a few small rivers coming down the hill but the footing was good.

Once we made it to the top (even with the conditions as they were, it was easier than last week) the mild weather portion of our day was over.  Driving rain and wind greeted us at the top of the ridge and was our companion down the hill.   We all made great time down the hill, even with that one or two extra hills that we neglected to mention to Gina.  I think that’s called hazing.  Sorry Gina.

So what did we learn on Monday?

A.  Wearing pants won’t kill me.

B.  Wind and rain are not that bad.

and

C.  We owe a big thanks to Marin Open Space for maintaining our trails.

Now go run!
