Today, Aisling, Dara (accompanied by Baby Aidan) and I participated in the return to Mare Island race. It was a very cold and foggy morning! The event took place at Touro University on Mare Island. Getting there involves driving though the old navy base, and with all those abandoned buildings, it kind of looked creepy in the fog. Aisling and I intended to do the four mile run, but the run started with a pretty steep half mile hill, which pretty much knocked the wind out of Aisling, so we switched to the two-mile run at that point. It felt like a long two miles! It was a nice course, though, starting at the University, running along Admiral's row, which has all the big old houses that the admirals used to live in, past some new housing developments, through some old military buildings and finally along the waterfront past the old warehouses. I understand that they are now used for filming, and it looked like some filming was going on in at least one of them. Our times weren't great, but we had a good time.
