Tour de Fit- Serotonin Surge Charities




On May 20th, 2018, I completed the third race for the Tour de Fit.  The cause was for the Serotonin Surge charities located at Natomas Oaks Park.  The Serotonin Surge Charities promotes health, wellness and benevolence of the Sacramento region.  The run benefits clinics that are medically under-insured and uninsured.  

 Definition of Serotonin- The "feel good" brain chemical.

 I participated in the walk race.  I don't really have a goal except that it's motivation to get out and see beautiful country here in the Bay Area.  This third medal is one of four medals for the Tour de Fit which once complete all connects together. The next race is the Davis Moon Light Race July 7.

Cull Canyon Trail Challenge 2018 -the dog's blog

This my husband and my second day trying the  East Bay Regional Park District Trails Challenge.   Today we tried the Cull Canyon Trail: Cull Canyon Regional Recreation Area Chabot to Garin Regional Trail/Cull Canyon Road/Heyer Road/Service Road/ Lake View Trail/Columbia Drive Length: 2.25-mile loop Elevation: 350 feet Location: Castro Valley GPS: 37.710479, -122.055430  We picked this trail because we could bring the dog with us, and it is described as shaded trails, shallow creek crossings, ridge-top breezes.  Sounds good.  We have a family Welsh Corgi who does not like the heat.  He is always enthusiastic about a walk, but if the weather is too hot, he stops at every piece of shade possible.   In addition to the trail, the park has a beautiful swimming spot and tables for picnickers.  Today was Memorial Day, it was filled with visitors.  This is the beginning of the trail.  So far so good....

His eyes were like the Caribbean Sea.

Last night I was on my way to the parking lot.   I had just finished a meeting at Morton’s steakhouse in the “City”.     As normal, the homeless were scattered throughout the streets.   Some walked up to me with their cups.   The others were in wheelchairs, standing against a wall, hidden in a corner, or sitting on the sidewalk.   Their existence is eminent.   There used to be stronger laws for loitering.    What do you do when the homeless have nowhere to go?   They have only had cardboards and salvaged blankets. As I was passing some of the eateries, I was thinking how the owners overprice their food.   A young man asked if I could help him get something to eat.   My first instinct, was to say, “I’m sorry, I can’t.”   I’ve given money many times, given my leftover food but of late, I donate to the professionals who know how to help the people.    He simply said, “Ok, I understand.”   I saw he ...
