May 29 Training Run — Limited Parking at Cleveland
A reminder that parking may be an issue for the May 29 training run, as the NSA Iron and Tender Knee Trail Race is starting at Cleveland Park (while we’ll be starting from Cleveland Dam). Park on the side streets, if needed.
May 22 Training Run Report — She Said
Despite having a mix up with our meeting place, we still managed to organize the posse of about 40 runners and take off into the trails by 7:45 am. Not bad, considering nearly some of our group was parked at the dam at 7:30 and needed to high tail it over to Lynn Canyon parking lot. Continue reading

Dog Lost on Baden Powell
Message from Laureen Griffin: My dog, Sparky, a 14 pound cock-a-poo was staying with a friend in Blue Ridge and escaped from her yard on Wednesday, May 18th around 2:30. On Friday, he was spotted on Arbrorlynn Drive at the curve in the road. He was spotted this morning (Sunday) at the Baden Powell trail head at Lonsdale and Skyline. Continue reading
Training Run Thanks
Well, thank you everyone for your flexibility and understanding with today’s training run. We made an error in both the planned run for today and the meeting point and didn’t catch it until late last night. Thank you to Glenn and Patricia who did their best to ensure we didn’t leave anyone hanging, and I do apologize if the communication caused frustration.
It was good to see so many familiar faces today. For next week’s run, the meeting place is as posted — Cleveland dam at 8am. Please be in touch if you have questions or comments.
Happy training!
