Catch up - California

Lighthouse... Long Beach, CA

Okay, so it's been a few weeks since I've posted.  I'll catch you up on my progress.  Two weeks ago I was in California for a Conference.  That week we were supposed to do a 5 mile run at mid-week and a 10 miler on the weekend.  I did do a mid-week 4.5 mile run along the Long Beach marina but I didn't get the 10 miler in.  It was too difficult with Conference obligations and well, 4.5 miles is about all I'm interested in running solo.  Let's face it, I get bored.  So these are a few of the sights I encountered along my 4.5 mile mid-week run...

The Queen Mary!  I thought that was pretty cool.

Before I left I asked the head coach about the 10 miler and how to find a route - he suggested finding a running club in Long Beach to run with since running that distance alone is kind of mind-numbing.  It sounded like a good idea.  I did some research - isn't the internet grand - but ultimately the timing never worked out.  When I got back to Cincinnati my cousin and I mapped our own run which wasn't 10 but it was about 7 miles.  Ultimately, the total distance didn't really matter - just keeping running was the most important thing to do.
