in the tri valley. after danville, all that will be left will be alamo. it's something he started in 2014, not long after he stopped doing something else. at age 40, mike quit a 20-year smoking habit. >> you have to come to the realization, this thing is going to kill me. >> reporter: and the very day he quit was when he went for his first run. >> i went for a mile, and it hurt like the dickens. i coughed. the whole next day at work i was in pain. and i got up the next morning and did it. >> reporter: mike got so hooked on running he has finished marathons and ultra marathons. he's kept the medals, but what mike says really keeps him going is the fun he has tracking it all, analyzing the data, creating spreadsheets, coloring in those maps of where he's been.

it all explains request running all the streets in the tri valley is so appealing to him. >> it actually became more important than the running. i wouldn't say more important, but it became a reward for the running. i could run and go home and do my analytical stuff. >> reporter: mike realizes running isn't everyone's thing, but he's found a passion that keeps him entertained but more importantly keeps him healthy. and that is a road map he encourages anyone to follow. >> you can't beat that. just getting out and doing that is real he important. >> reporter: garvan thomas, nbc bay area news. >> pretty incredible. >> mm-hm. >> if you know someone doing extraordinary, you can tag us on facebook, instagram and twitter. those maps, though. >> that's your neck of the woods. you were impressed. >> hills. the weather we've had over the last year, that didn't stop him. >> way to go, mike.

>> tomorrow would be a good day for a run. temperatures nice and comfortable. don't have to worry about sub-zero wind chill like most of the country tomorrow. top issue weather wise tomorrow morning will be patchy dense fog, especially across some of the inland valleys. 52 in san jose. over toward walnut creek, 49 degrees, and around dublin and livermore, beginning to see low clouds there at 48 degrees. so some dense areas of fog, very likely out toward the central valley. watch out if you have plans, travel plans down through fresno or sacramento for tomorrow morning. start the day with the 40s. as we move forward, high clouds, hazy sunshine. should still manage 60 south of san jose, but those inland east bay valleys likely to stay in the mid-50s for highs. and here's a look at the high clouds. right now, not rain-producing clouds. this is sort of the outer

fringe, though, of more active weather that's going to roll in during the day tuesday. offshore, weather systems coming in essentially from west to east. these storms may have a bigger punch bringing some high rain rates at times by next weekend. first chance for rain comes up as we head into tuesday morning. you see the rain on approach for the tuesday morning commute. probably not much of an impact south of san francisco for the morning. evening into the early afternoon, most of the rain is in the north bay. by the tuesday evening commute, then by wednesday, the skies start to clear out, and you might have noticed the rain hanging out over the north bay probably for the longest with this incoming storm. top rain totals for now, santa cruz mountains. less for places like san jose. now for the sierra, this is a mild weather system.

so notice no snow at khybers or blue canyon. moving forward toward next weekend as we see more storms come in, the hope is some colder air with snow dropping down slightly below 5,000 feet with higher snow totals by next weekend. speaking of next weekend. here comes rain for friday. as we head towards saturday, of course the 49ers game, it looks like rain at times. then more rain comes in saturday night on into sunday. so, as these storm totals add up, we're talking three-day rain totals from friday through sunday, spread out over 72 hours or so, you sigh the potential for significant rain totals. again, this is over three days. mountain rain totals of two to three inches of rain possible. and inland locations could see a half inch to more than an inch of rain. pretty soggy period setting up towards next friday. raindrops back in for tuesday. and tuesday night, and then another break thursday. and then rain off and on as we

head through the weekend. so some rain for the 49ers game. i checked the lambeau field forecast. 10 for a high and a low of minus 6. we'll take the rain. >> we'll take the rain is right. >> all right, rob, thank you. >> there is no age limit on the need for speed. we're going to introduce to you this 102-year-old adrenaline junky. got to meet her when we come back.
