Petaluma

It is more than a year since I drove the 101 up towards Santa Rosa and passed through Petaluma, home to the Lagunitas Brewing Company. With both kids taking a nap, I retreat out on the porch with a bottle of their Down Low Ale, savouring the brief silence.

This morning I started reading different articles about “sky running” (basically running up and down mountains) that made the idea of completing a marathon or even an ultramarathon sound entirely sensible. Still, just running 10k was surprisingly tough today so I should be careful to keep my imagination somewhat in check.
