Santa Monica two step

This time I awoke, feeling rested, after a night out on the town. I was a little hazy when we started, but my legs felt good and the run wasn't a chore at all. It felt good to be out there!

Weather was perfect. Bohle and I ran up from Venice Beach to the Pier at Santa Monica. That was a 1.22 mile warm up.

There we met a LADC runner, and Justin Cross. Once we were all together, we went out for a run around the town. After Bohle and Cross called it a day after a 4 mile loop, Steve (LADCer) and I decided to take on some more. I wanted to complete 8-9 for the day. This run was 7.57

That was it for the week. I hit 16.65 miles on 3 days running (tue/thur/sat). Pretty light on the taper, but I was having fun in California and this wasn't really unintentional.

Now just marathon week awaits me! Just a couple light jogs, and then the race!

Fartlek with Bohle

landed at LAX around 10am, had a couple business meetings, then got up with Nick where I unwinded with a nice Miller Light. After having my feet up for a few, went over to Bohle's and where we shortly thereafter set out for a 6 mile run, with the middle three miles alternating between hard .5 mile segments, and .5 mile easy recovery segments.

From Chris Bohle's place, ran south to the Venice Beach pier and back. Good sights, and good weather.
