road trip
we're packing the family up and heading to stockton (yes, stockton) to meet up with a buddy of mine from the marines. haven't seen him since '92 and i hear he's got a whole baseball team of tricycle motors running around these days. should be a good time. i say should because there's one (only one? haha) thing that i don't like about stockton. i'm not a fan of dodging bullets on my runs.
smsmh suggested that i check online to see if there were any trails nearby that i could run on and guess what? mt. diablo is about an hour from stockton. so. i've never run there or any of the nearby parks, but google maps makes it look very inviting. is there anyone in the mt. diablo area that would be willing to host a 16-20mi trail run for someone new to the area (that'd be me)?

You get the idea! That is about 45 minutes from me by car and probably about the same from Stockton.
