Day 3: taking the heat

Not really sure where to stay the night, I decided to ask for a price for a room. The price was a little hefty for my liking so I chose to keep looking. I ended unrolling my sleeping bag on top of a monster mountain/hill that overlooked the city of Hayward. It was so incredible seeing the lights and the stars. I was off to sleep in no time. Early next morning, the sun awoke me. I knew immediately that the day would be a warmer one because I woke up very warm in my sleeping bag. After a couple of incidents of runaway stroller, I was finally down the monster hill and still running down Mission ave where it must be world known for how many car dealerships, car parts, and body shops it has (it was awesome!). Even though I started early in the morning, I could feel the hotness of the sun. The sky was so blue without a cloud in the sky. A couple of hours in I needed a break in the shade where I loaded up on the dreaded sunblock (I really dislike the feel of lotion of any kind). Finally after my break and another hour of running, I made it to my next road...Naple Canyon Trail. This road is so scenic!! Through the mountains, rivers, trees, bridges, and old trains and train tracks. The only problem was how narrow it was...eek. It really reminded me of the video game Cruisin the USA. I made it to the city/village of Senul and had a great lunch at a diner. The worker asked me where I was running to and from (the first one ever) and he was shocked. He even told the whole diner. Haha. On to the next town of Pleasanton, where I have never seen more of a homey-sense city. Really feeling how much sun I got, and noticing how red I am, I decided to take a break in a comfortable McDonalds until it cools off. I still need to go another 15 ish miles through Livermore and then to Tracy.
