Monday 4 July - Sacramento - July 4th 5 Miler

I woke up in plenty of time to get ready for the July 4 road race; in fact there was quite a commotion outside the motel at about 6am so it was a good job I had to get up anyway. I drove to Glen Hall Park for the Buffalo Chips Running Club July 4 - 5 Mile road run which I completed in just over 35 minutes. I then returned to Motel 6 and parked up and walked across to the TIC to register and collect my WMA credentials. I also saw Archie Jenkins and got my name ticked off on the team list for the cross country. I walked back to the Motel and met Michelle Hooton at the pool. I was unable to access the internet, Motel 6 had supplied me with an invalid internet access code and they had not resolved the problem in time for me to Skype the UK. So I obtained a refund, but not before having to ring their support line – for their problem! Oh well, I had to spend a few hours at the pool instead - another catastrophe!  I ran out of sun cream (after a mere three days!). Later on Michelle and I went for a meal, Roma’s was closed and so was the Outback Steakhouse – so we found Chilli’s and had a meal there.
