Nearly 400 athletes from around the country were tough enough to complete the 22nd annual Tram Road Challenge on Saturday.



The 6K run/walk began at 500 feet elevation and ended at 2,643 feet, with the final kilometer being the steepest portion of the race.

The event benefited Palm Springs Police Activities League (PAL).

"This event is very challenging and there were some great times recorded," said Greg Klein of Klein & Clark Sports. "It was nice to see so many runners come out for such a worthwhile cause."

The men were led by Tim Van Orden of Venice at 29:58. Perry Scanlon (30:25) of Desert Hot Springs and Jeff Klemmer (31:21) of
Joshua Tree trailed behind.

The overall female champion was Brigid Freyne of Temecula at 34:54. She was followed by Laura Conley of Woodland Hills (35:06) and Nance Tran (37:02) of Tarzana.

The next event for Klein & Clark Sports will be the Palm Springs Half Marathon/5K on Feb. 17 beginning at Ruth Hardy Park.

Rawr.

That's all for today.

We hike AND sleep!

Took the JP to Idyllwild on Saturday before work. Definitely calmed me down and tired me out! We had a contest to see what the biggest stick Scout could fetch would be.


Then all day Sunday at Jamba, Monday at KC Sports and at the dentist for TWO and a HALF HOURS (yeah, my mouth still hurts from that one!). After today at work, I needed another day in Idyllwild. JP picked me up from work with Scout and we made our way up again. This time we hiked longer on the Devil's Slide trail. It tired Scout and I out so we slept on the way home.


Awwwww.
