The Best and Worst of Conejo Valley - Newbury Park, CA
My Tripometer: 1 Hour * 1.25 Miles * +200 Feet
I was recently talking with a reporter for the Acorn and a couple of Hikes came to mind:
These are my favorite and least favorite hikes in Conejo Valley. The irony of this is, they are right next to each other. Thus, today after work I revisited this location and combined the trails for one hike. I spent about 45 minutes reuniting with my Day 206 experience and then wandered over to where I dropped the camera. Basically, I poked my head in and then left. Anyhow, that was my hike for the day and for many other hikes in Conejo Valley, check out the link below:
Day #606 * Hike #708 * Duplicate Track
Friday July 13, 2012
Kimball Park - Ventura, CA
My Tripometer: 1 Hour * 2.5 Miles * +75 Feet
The goal today was to race 1 mile around the 1.25 mile loop. I thought my legs were strong from my hard 2-mile run on Wednesday and today I was wearing better shoes. My first quarter split clocked in 1.35. I was feeling good coming down the top stretch but as I turned toward the downhill, I stopped! I walked the final 20 seconds and still managed a 1.54 quarter split. I guess my legs were more sore than I thought so I stopped the ticking and then casually walked and joged two times around the large oval. Usually when I have a stop watch I am going to run for a time, like a race. Today however I went off stride like a trotter in a harness pace; xxx- pulled up Did Not Finish. Oh well, so I went a longer distance instead. I guess the Friday the 13th curse got me!
