The last time I ran up, and I do mean up, at Thacher Park was over the summer during ARE’s trail series. The weather was fine and the people were nice, but the course began with a murderous hill which made me a bit cranky. I don't mind hills*, but, please let me work up … Continue reading Squirrelly Six – 2015
