Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, there are a number of large, undeveloped tracts of land held for the public trust by foundations, non-profit groups and other organizations. One such group is the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District which supervises roughly 25 preserves in some especially beautiful country to the south of San Francisco overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Below is a series of videos I shot while running along some of the trails within the preserves. Take a look at them and you will see what makes my runs so special. View the home page photos »

I was fortunate to hook up with Rod McLean, a professional Sports and Lifestyle photographer from San Francisco who asked if I'd like to appear in a video he was shooting for his portfolio. As you might have noticed, I love the camera so I had no problem doing this. There was a crew of 4 that settled in on a nice patch of redwoods in Purisima Creek for this epic event. Short but sweet.

Minor injuries are common out here so be careful! On this day it was me who took a bite. View » Various shots taken after the '06 New Years storms while running Purdy Pharis in Purisima Creek. This was fun!! View » Running Stinkfoot in El Corte de Madera Creek. In the video I'm heading down Methuselah to the creek crossing. It then transitions to a phat vista high up on Manzanita which faces west towards the San Mateo County coastline.

Behold a massive old-growth redwood, and take a gander at some extensive storm damage in El Corte de Madera Creek.

Svelte brings you high above Sausalito and Mill Valley with sweeping views that stretch all the way to Half Moon Bay, Point Reyes, Oakland, and San Francisco. You're gonna love the week-kneed and dizzying heights along Coastal Trail. This is Northern California coastline at it's best! View » You can also find these videos on my YouTube Channel.
