Fleet Week Hike - October 11th

You and your friends are invited to join us for a difficult but fantastic hike from Powell street to Sausalito Saturday, October 11th right in the midst of Fleet Week: the Blue Angels and the like will be flying over head the whole way.

This 10 mile hike has steep hills, winding stairs and a good 5-6 hours of walking. We’ll go in stores, see the Emporium dome, peak into the cable-car house, get our free sample of Ghirardelli chocolate and watch cruise ships pass under our feet and jets fly over-head as we walk across the Golden Gate. Then we’ll ride a boat back to the Embarcadero for dinner in the city at Osha (amazing Thai food).

If you want to bike this instead of hike, Ambert Jue will be leading bicyclists through the city and attempt to cross paths with us during the day.

When? Saturday October 11th

Interval Running at Rancho Monday Sept. 15th

INTERVAL RUNNING AT RANCHO - Monday Sept 15th
(Jim O'Brien)

There has been interest shown in getting together for trail running at Rancho San Antonio and we would like you to join us. The run will take place on the Mondays opposite the hikes at 6:00 p.m. and we plan to continue until daylight saving time ends.

Whether you have never run before or have a lot of running experience, we hope it to be both challenging and fun for you.

We will be using an interval method. It is very simple. We will run for a period of time, then we will walk, then run again, walk, etc… Of course, if you want to run and not walk you may do so. If we have more than one pace group, we will do our best to arrive back at the parking lot at about the same time. A pace group will be two or more people running at a particular speed and interval time. The walks are always at a leisurely or normal pace and are usually for one minute. The run portion varies depending on your skill level and is normally 2 to 5 minutes. We want everyone to be running with at least one other person at their pace and interval, so that no one will ever be running alone. We will do our best to accommodate all skill levels and at the same time stick to our buddy system.
For our first trail run we will meet on Monday, September 15, and thereafter on September 29, October 13, and October 27.
I will be supplying timers for each group so that you will know when to run and when to walk.
Hope you can join us and have a great week!

Grace and peace,
Jim O'Brien
