Comments:
A bay-area ultrarunner (Todd "Gaylord" Falker) reached out to me via FB and asked if I wanted to run. Sure, always down to meet new runners and give them a tour of the WS trail.

Cool guy in his early 30's (from Michigan, ran for DIII at Albion?..PR of 3:59 for the 1500). We ran from the Overlook (well, the park below the Overlook where he parked..I ran down there to meet him) and kept it SUPS casual, just chatting about our respective seasons/plans/past events/collegiate running; the typical stuff us ultrarunners talk about. Couldn't help but analze his stride. He definitely sits back, heel strikes a little...typical ultra-stride?

Hit HandZ in :36+, I deuced in the porta-potties (been SHITTING like crazy the past few weeks with eating more and more fruits/veggies) and on the way back, bumped into Keyes!

He tagged along and it was a good run/chat back up to the Overlook. Felt good, not tired on the ups...Feel kinda like I did at the Tue hunt right before Waldo. Hope that's a good sign:)

Bid farewell to Todd, drove home to eat dinner with Sara, and then drove back up to meet Keyes, Thornley, and Bryon Powell at the Alehouse. Fun time!
