Miscellaneous pics

Here are some pictures that have been taken over the last month or so - but just not posted. We have had a lot of rain in Southern CA during this winter, and the hills and mountain are beautiful and green again! Here is a picture that Clark took when going for a MTB ride in the hills of Loma Linda - all green with snow on the mountains!
One morning we took this photo on Mission Road while going for a walk...pretty and green - just a shame this wont last especially when summer starts!!!
Clark has done 2 half marathons in February - both with our friends Jacques & Natasa who got him into running again. Here they are posing at 6am just before they left to do the Huntington Beach 1/2 marathon - it was a cold and blustery morning by the beach, certainly not the best weather to do go and do some running, but fun none the less. Clark's time for his first 1/2 marathon was 1:48:00. He was pretty chuffed with an average 8:15/mile, especially since his initial goal was to run 2hrs.
And here he is running the Palm Springs 1/2 marathon 2 weeks later - much more suitable weather for running...but then what else would you expect with it being in the desert! Race started at 7:30am, and this time Clark ran 8:00 flat per mile with a finish time of 1:45:04 - bettering his previous time by 3 minutes over a more challenging course...Jacques finished this course in a good time of 1:32:00 - that's 7 minutes per mile over 13.1miles!
And here is a photo with Clark and the pharmacy staff at Rite Aid. Managing a bunch of women can be challenging!
