Training Run with Hans Schmid
We meet up with Hans on Sunday
Sunday, May 27th, 2012
Our film crew (Michael, Catherine and Waitman) met up with Hans on Sunday before the Marin Memorial Day Races. We were staying at the Panama Hotel in San Rafael and before we started our training run we walked up to Bocce Ball center just a block from the hotel to do the sit down interview. Hans started running when he was 63. He is now 72 and running very well. The next day he ran 40:45 for the 10K Hans has an amazing story. He travels around the world running races. His range is the road mile up to 50 miles. He has also ran several stage races (4-8 day events where you are running almost a marathon each day).
I beat Hans at the Bay to Breakers by 30 seconds but he toasted me at the Marin Memorial 10k on Monday. I enjoyed our training run together and we got a lot of good footage for our movie. Comments and Feedback

Golden Gate Bridge was 75 on Sunday
Mike and I run in Tiburon
Sunday, May 27th, 2012
On Sunday afternoon we drove over to Tiburon which is across the bay from the Golden Gate Bridge. Mike and I did a training run from the Yatch Club, through the city and along the bay to the end. It was beautiful. People were already setting up to view the 75th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge that night. People were already setting up to watch the fireworks near the Golden Gate Bridge. Waitman and Catherine did the filming capturing good footage for our movie. Mike has been getting in some solid 40 mile weeks. It has been tough for him to get in the mileage since he is behind the camera most of the time. Photos by Catherine Cross Comments and Feedback
