Well, it was a good run while it lasted, but my stint as a columnist for San Diego News Room's Endurance section has succumbed to budget cuts and I won't be contributing anymore (at least that's the reason they gave me...but maybe they just didn't like my articles). So, I'm moving on. To what and where? Who knows. But, I'd like to keep writing about running and being healthy-- so luckily my blog can't fire me.

My most current project--30 Hills in 30 Days--is still in the works. I'm collecting hills still. Here's my current list but I need more suggestions. Lots more.

1. Laurel Street
2. Lake Murray Blvd
3. Hill Street
4. Xenophon
5. Torrey Pines Reserve (thanks ang)
6. 6th Avenue (thanks again ang)
7. 56 Bike Path (east)-- (thanks Run DMZ)

Sigh...see what I mean? I need some more suggestions. I'll probably use a bunch of other small hills around here just for convenience sake...like:

8. Browning
9. Point Loma Nazarene's Young Hall-Hendrix hill
10. Canon
11. Talbot

Anyway... not much is going on in my running world right now, unfortunately. Well, except for the back part of Lake Murray's bike path that finally opened up, so we can once again get a 6 mile run out of the place. That's some big news (for me at least). It's time to start keeping a look out for rattlers at the Gorge and on those trails in North County. A running friend of mine just saw a big fat one while rock climbing...or maybe he was hiking....

I wish all you crazies running La Jolla this weekend good luck-- especially going up that reserve and I especially hope it's cool weather for you.

Keep on truckin'
