I'm in San Mateo for a few days, Last October when I was here I found a great trail up by Crystal Springs Resevoir, called Sawyer Camp trail, it runs through a game preserve so there is wild life everywhere and a beautiful lake, one of the neatest trails I have ever run on. While reading Ryan Halls book Running with Joy he actually talked about running on that trail, and I noticed that he ran a tempo run on it just last week getting ready for Boston. So this morning I took 3 of my Co-Workers with me and we all ran the trail, I ran 7 my Co-worker "Danny" who I ran with in Beijing last week ran 6 and the other 2 ran 4. Great morning, perfect temperature, a bit humid but very nice. My leg was killing me the whole time but just running on that trail made it enjoyable. I've decided I must have tendonitis in my groin area, contemplating getting a cortisone shot. I've never had one before, I've heard they are painful but I kind of think nothing could be more painful than just they everyday pain I have been going through. 7 miles in 48:25 6:55/mile avg pace.
