As we begin to tapper down our training, and look forward to a mellower couple of weeks concerning our mileage, I took a very nice 12 mile run along the boardwalk in Southern California. I ran along the beautiful beaches of Santa Monica and Venice taking in all the interesting sights.
The boardwalk was packed. I must have seen more than a dozen groups of runners, jogging two by two in long lines with names like the LA Legers and the Roadrunners. I even slid in with one group and chatted with some members for about 6 miles. Running in groups sure does take your mind off the run, which can be nice. It was a beautiful day and a nice way to start my Saturday.
