| It was a beautiful day for a run! |
Run: 5.5 Miles, 57:00 Highlight of the run: beating the guy riding a bike up to the end of Vaca Valley Pkwy
Fall is my absolute favorite running season. I just love it when the sun is shinning but the air is cool and crisp. Saturday's weather was actually a little on the warm side so I'm glad I left my sweatshirt at home.
There's a steep hill by my house that is perfect to run when I'm in the mood for a little trail running. My kids have named it "Mount Vaca-suvius" after the infamous Mount Vesuvius that destroyed the city of Pompeii. I think it's actually a pretty cool name.
I haven't run the hill in ages and it's much steeper and longer than Wykoff. It was quite challenging and I had to take several rest breaks on the way up. There are some large rocks up there that people like to visit to rock climb and do "other things" I passed a large group of climbers that were carrying mattresses on their backs.

| I made it to the top! |
At the top the views are of course, amazing. On the back side is a panoramic view of Pleasants Valley,
 and the other side are sweeping views of our "Browns Valley bubble". | |
