Today I was in Manhattan Beach, CA as I am in town for a bean counter seminar on FAS 109 and FIN 48. The hotel is about two miles from the beach so I decided to head out in that direction and see where it took me. The road between the hotel and beach is pretty hilly and I really don't run much on hills so I struggled a bit. Due to the traffic on the street I ran most of the way on the concrete sidewalk which I really don't enjoy much. Once I got down to the beach there were an amazing number of runners, walkers and bikers out exercising. Meg and I rarely see anyone out in the mornings around our neighborhood but the beach was crawling with health nuts. It was quite nice to be out running with so many people, it lets you know you are not alone in your endeavors (kinda like coming on the blog everyday and reading about peoples challenges). Anyway the run went pretty well. I went a mile further than I had planned but I was having too much fun to stop at 8.
Time: 8:49/mile |
