I was up in the Stanislaus Forrest this week and wanted to get in some exercise. I made two mistakes--one, thinking I could actually run at elevation, and two, running on a trail.
The elevation was about 5,000 feet, not enough to notice when you are standing still, but just enough to make your lungs burn when you tried to work. However, when the Map My Run voice came on at 23 mins and 35 seconds to tell me that I completed one mile, I knew the GPS signal wasn't working very well! And I ended up running like a drunk person (I swear I wasn't, the Napa visit was days ago!), weaving from side to side to avoid the rocks and pebbles that I could feel through my aqua sox. I ended up tossing them after the run, partially because they started getting holes in the heel, but also because they were so dirty, there was no way I was going to put them back in my suitcase!
