Lake Almaden

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing holiday season. Mine was full of cooking, baking, and going to the gym. My knee is feeling fine but it still feels a little funny. Stretching, rolling, and the elliptical machine are working well for me so far. I'll be starting physical therapy in mid January and I hope my knee will improve dramatically.
In the meantime I'm volunteering for water stop duty for my fellow teammates for the remainder of the season. Makes me feel like I'm still part of the team that way. Plus, I still want to support everyone.
Today I volunteered at Lake Almaden where the runners ran between 8 to 14 miles in 40 degree weather! I was stationed with my mentor Debra, who is also nursing an injury, and with Honoree Jack at the corner of Camden and Harry. Even though I did not run I did manage to snap over 100 photos at and around the water stop. Click on the slide show above to view the 75 I have posted.
Congratulations to everyone who have run their furthest and fastest times today! Janine and Jen deserve special mention for running 14 miles in slightly over three hours and Rakhee for running her furthest distance so far. You're going to kill at Napa!
More from me later. Stay warm!
