Two opposing views from my run this morning:

Right: Start & Finish // Left: Summit & Turn-Around

At the summit, I was greeted by a coyote.  By the time I got my phone out, he was gone…

We watched Les Misérables last weekend.

Needless to say, I have been humming one tune all week while I run:

Dah/Dah/Dah/Dah/Daahh,
Dah/Dah/Dah/Dah/Daahh,
Dah/Dah/Dah/Dah/Dah/Dah/Dah/Dah/Daahh/Daahh/Dah

…at least it got B-I-N-G-O out of my head from last week.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Today was the second of my two 20 milers on my Big Sur Marathon training plan. It was a great run, which included my Hurricane Point simulation, and I felt good after I got home…like I could have gone at least 6 more miles, but I’ll save that for April 28th.

Not exactly sure where that 3:00 pace burst came from.
Looking at the map, it could be the point when a turkey & I startled each other…

To quote Mr. James Brown, “I feeeeeeel good!” [bah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah!]

Now to spend the 2,300 calories I burned; actually, a total of 5,100 for the day now…hmmmmm.
