Another Sunday at Yargo

Another Sunday run, this time taking it a bit easy; a casual 10.5 miles in 2:20. Tried out a “new” holster for the video camera, and it works nice.

Overall, the run was good…we started with a really big (in my opinion) hill that took my breath away along the West Lake Trail. I didn’t really get it [...]
