Comments: Fall Sacramento weather makes running easy. This represents the first time I'm using http://mapmyrun.com--pretty cool. It seems to work better than http://www.gmap-pedometer.com. After our run, we used the Bridge Street Pedestrian Bridge's drinking fountain for the first time. A woman waiting to use the restroom asked Dawn how far we ran, then shared that she and her partner planned to bike to the end of the trail (Folsom Dam)--maybe 13 miles distant. When I shared that a big hill lay ahead, she jumped up and down and seemed excited.
Exercise Time: 45 minutes; 13:41 min/mi; 4.38 mi/hr; 389 calories burned. At our half-way point, Dawn and I stopped and read an interpretive sign that talked about the grinding holes used by the native Americans to grind acorns into flour. The holes exist on the northern side of the river at the Sailor Bar boat ramp.
