I found out I have been at UCLA longer than the bear. The plaque and certificate say 39 years because I thought 38.833 years would be awkward. #ucla #ucretirement #almost39years #retirement (at UCLA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8fsbOnhhh/?igshid=cvcr1ho38hix

Happy Runner's Selfie Day!

Happy Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day! This picture is from Pie Day (January 23) at Four N 20. Sadly Four N 20 is no longer in business, you will just have to take my word on how good their Strawberry Rhubarb Pie was. #strawberryrhubarbpieday #strawberryrhubarbpie #strawberryrhubarb #pie (at Four N 20 Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOP0huHHzJ/?igshid=1d47yv7m0yhe7

My time with nature. Sunday morning I started at Soledad Canyon Road and ran to the power lines and back along the PCT. #runningafter60 #runselfie #roadid #brookscadia #garmin #rosary #marymiraculousmedal #relive #seenonmyrun #optoutside #irunwithmaud #obeseathlete #trailrunning #oldaf #slowaf (at Soledad Canyon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBL2j05nQYb/?igshid=1nge5j2nhvnhz

Happy Global Running Day! Because of COVID 19 I have been running in the early morning before the sun comes up to avoid people and now Los Angeles County has curfew from 6pm until 6am, so much for my planned 4am run. #globalrunningday #losangelescountycurfew #curfew https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-QdxoHFRc/?igshid=1orp6dh8lgirn

My run along the PCT in Aqua Dulce, California this morning. I love watching the sun come up while I am on the trail, also I have the trail pretty much to myself, I only passed one other person and their two dogs. #runningafter60 #runselfie #roadid #pct #seenonmyrun #garmin #rosary #marymiraculousmedal #roadrunnersports #obeseathlete #relive #optoutside #slowaf #irunwithmaud (at Mint Canyon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3I9YHnZ0I/?igshid=jwklr4yarr0r

Sunday along the PCT off of Lake Hughes Road. Originally I wanted to be off of San Fransquito Canyon Road, but when I went by the trailhead there were already two cars parked. I continued to Lake Hughes Road and there was already one car there, but I thought this should be okay. I didn't see that person on the trail, but somebody was camped about two and a half miles off of the road, it might have been a thru hiker or the person that was parked at the trailhead, I don't know. If it was a thru-hiker they were getting a very late start, their tent was still up and it was almost 8 am. The only other people I saw on the trail was a group of three about a half mile from the trailhead. However, on my drive back the trailhead at San Francisco had more than a half dozen cars and another group was getting ready to hit the trail. It was a beautiful morning to be out, wild flowers were in bloom, the sky a very thin cloud cover, it was just great to get some fresh air. #runningafter60 #runselfie #roadid #brookscadia #garmin #rosary #marymiraculousmedal #roadrunnersports #pct #seenonmyrun #rosary #over60runners #obeseathlete #slowaf #optoutside #trailrunning (at Lake Hughes, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CATE08wnHTg/?igshid=1y2jhu1mduk0j
