Sacramento: Runners' Paradise

I often call the American River Parkway the jewel of Sacramento.  Most of my daily runs incorporate some part of the parkway, whether it's the Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail, the horse trails, the levee crest or a combination of all of those.

Here are clips from three recent runs on the parkway:

I feel fortunate to live where I do.

Awesome Christmas Lights

We bundled up Karly and headed out to Orangevale's Dovewood Court to check out the spectacular light show.  I stuck a GoPro on the roof of the car for all of you who can't make it in person.

A New Challenge

I have accepted a new challenge and a huge career opportunity.  Following the NBA All-Star break (mid February), I'll be taking over as producer for the Sacramento Kings TV broadcasts.

For all but a small handful of shows since I started in TV 25 years ago, I've either directed or TDed.  I've never produced.  Nor, frankly, have I ever wanted to.  But when the possibility arose, I saw an opportunity for growth and threw my hat in the ring.

I produced two quarters of a Kings home game last week.  It's been a long time since I felt so new at something.  Thanks to a quick decision by Kings management, I have two and a half months to learn from the outgoing producer.  I couldn't ask for a better recipe for success.

I've spent every spare moment of the last two weeks immersed in everything Kings & NBA and I have two more months before I take the reins.  I'll be ready.  I'm all in.

Running is Beautiful

I love running.  Running is pure sport.  There are no machines or gears or helmets.  They're no special playing surface.  Just you and and the real estate you cover.

This is some ultra-slow footage of my friend Sam running on the levee on the American River Parkway, the jewel of Sacramento.

The folding bike got some miles in the Rocky Mountain air, including its first night ride.  Enjoy!
