Lake San Antonio Update 3/10/2016

The numbers as of 3/10/16

(Water is represented in Acre-Feet)

Current level is 4.8% – 16,130

To Go to Swim at Lynch – 50,870

Increase since 1/24/16 – 5,775

Increase this week – 4,406

Days until Wildflower – 51

Average increase in acre feet required per day to meet 20% by race day – 997.45 (yeah, good luck with that)

Next rainfall forecast -3/11/2016

There was significant rainfall this week  -2.05 inches. Even on days when it has not rained, the rate of increase has gone up substantially as the upstream watershed drains into the Lake. While we probably won’t get Lynch this year, it’s a great thing that the losses due to the diversion to Nacimiento are being redressed.

National Stroller Running Day!

Who’s with me?

I will be jogging the Oakland Hella-Ween 5k on October 25th with Pippi and my awesome and much beloved BOB Stroller. Now I’m on the hunt for a similar race for November 8th. Even if I don’t find an official race, I’ll be getting my jog on, on November 8th!

 

I am lucky to have a toddler who asks to go running with me and will happily sit in the stroller for almost two hours while I get the miles in. I used to run with my kid in the jogging stroller a lot. I don’t do it as much these days because I’m running at lunch during the work day or I’m running double digits on trails and single track to prep for a trail race. While I love my BOB stroller, I accept its limitations.

Just because you _could_ get a stroller up this, doesn’t mean you should.

 

When my half marathon is done, I will be getting more stroller time in. For extra credit I will also take the dog with us. Multitasking can be crappy and it can be awesome. Getting my training, having time with my daughter (we chat about the scenery), getting the dog walked, and giving my stay at home spouse some quiet alone time is the good kind of multitasking.

Onward!
