Blowing in the Wind

The last several years, I've spent the 4th of July with club members at the ACTC Pancake Breakfast.  This year, since I'm not cleared to ride a bike yet, I decided to walk Windy Hill starting at the parking lot in Portola Valley and ending at the summit overlooking Skyline Blvd.

Guess what.  It's frigging windy and it certainly is a hill.  And where were the men!  Oh I know, biking.  I met a lot of families and dogs.  And then, the runner came.  OMG.  I think I began panting, and no doubt, drooled a bit, as his lovely chiseled body sprinted past me.   Talk about fireworks.... For a minute, I forgot about the wind, being sweaty, feeling grimy from the dust and missing biking with my friends on this holiday.  I find walking hard.  I managed to do 5.6 miles in 2 hours.
