GETTING OUT: Even to natives, Marin Headlands never lose luster
I grew up just across the Golden Gate Bridge in Mill Valley. As I get grayer, the personal connections to my old home slip away, but the emotional link never dims.
Morgan Hill Freedom 5K Run/Walk
The Morgan Hill Freedom 5K Run/Walk and 1-Mile Kid's Run is coming up on Thursday the Fourth of July. At 3.1 miles, the 5K, can be a challenging distance for many people, but veteran long-distance runners sometimes dismiss the 5K--it's even shorter than their normal warm-up. But the 5K is a challenging distance in its own right. It requires that the runner push him or herself faster than any other long distance race, yet it's very easy to over commit in that first mile to a mile and a half and have little or nothing left at the end of the race.
