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

PCT Lake Hughes Road to 7N01. This morning I wanted to get out on the trail and headed right to Lake Hughes Road where the PCT crosses. This time I went south up to Forest Road 7N01 and back to Lake Hughes Road. Again I got out early enough to avoid almost everyone I only met two people during the six and half mile run and both of them were in the last half mile. If I had gotten out earlier or not stopped and taken so many pictures I wouldn't have seen anyone. When I was leaving at 08:30 more people were pulling up to hike the trails. At the San Fransquito Canyon PCT trailhead I don't think there was any parking spaces left. It could not have been any better, the sky was an awesome blue, the breeze was light, and many wildflowers were still in bloom. #runningafter60 #runselfie #roadid #brookscadia #garmin #rosary #marymiraculousmedal #roadrunnersports #obeseathlete #relive #optoutside #slowaf #optoutside #trailrunning #pct https://www.instagram.com/p/CAlF6mqH1Z8/?igshid=1gijjggrcv7zh

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

My Social Distancing Run along the PCT this morning. Only 5K so I could get home early for Mother's Day. Lucky for me no one else was on the trail this morning. When I first parked three women parked behind me and I thought oh there goes my alone time and I started to leave to go to the next Canyon over, but they chose to use the trail on the other side of the road. #runningafter60 #runselfie #roadid #brookscadia #garmin #rosary #marymiraculousmedal #roadrunnersports #pct #seenonmyrun #obeseathlete #optoutside #over60 #runningafter65 #over65 #socialdistancing #wildflowers #slowaf (at Green Valley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CABAURwHmx_/?igshid=1dl8loqpc4c9g

My treadmill workout this morning started at Starbucks with Nitro Cold Brew (tall size in their "for here" glass) and Cream for the caffeine boost to make it 5K on the treadmill. It was a run/walk on a 5%incline followed by 30 minutes in a 182f dry sauna. My weight in my running kit this morning 267 lbs. My running kit Leona Divide 30K tshirt for inspiration, shorts, Brooks Cascadia shoes, Road Runner Sports socks, Garmin watch, Mary Miraculous medal, Rosary, Kershaw AM-6, and as always my Road ID ankle bracelet ID. #runningafter60 #runselfie #roadid #brookscadia #garmin #rosary #marymiraculousmedal #roadrunnersports #heatstresstraining #treadmilltraining #slowaf #obeseathlete #drysauna #kershawam6 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9M5WOeDr6L/?igshid=1jwpnm2vvkrzm

My morning started at Starbucks with Nitro Cold Brew Coffee (thank you jt_nel ), unfortunately I missed shot of the perfect Cold Brew Nitro Coffee and Cream to post on Instagram. However, I did get the beneficial jolt of caffeine that would aid my half-hour run/walk on a 5% incline treadmill workout. My weight in my running kit this morning was 267 lbs (Santa Clarita 5K tshirt, lycra shorts, Brooks Cascadia shoes, Garmin watch, Mary Miraculous medal, rosary, and as always my Road ID ankle bracelet). I finished with a half-hour in a 175 degree dry sauna for some heat stress training. #runningafter60 #roadid #brookscadia #garmin #rosary #marymiraculousmedal #roadrunnersports #heatstresstraining #drysauna #over60runners #obeseathlete #slowaf https://www.instagram.com/p/B9AAekEHYFo/?igshid=1e50yp6kohtbq
