  1. RUN
    good More 3.4 mi 00:37 10:51 pace

    Gosh, this went so much better than yesterday! I went a little later and the sun was out which makes everything look more optimistic. I got to go a little farther. There is such a thing as too s... read more

      I agree on length of run, Elodie-- it takes me a couple of miles to warm up and often even longer to really get in a groove. This one sounds nice, and 1.4 miles of carefree running is worthy of celebration!

    alright Doing Penance 2 mi 00:22 10:46 pace

    Marine layer morning -- cool, overcast, but not thick enough for nifty fog. The run itself wasn't much fun. It felt laboured, and after the first itty-bitty 2-mile loop I was glad to go in. ... read more

  3. RUN
    good Quads A-Quiver 4.21 mi 00:46 10:49 pace

    I threw together a slapdash affair on the mountain trails yesterday due to the possibility of weather. I guess it might be thunderstorming somewhere but it's beautiful here today, only a spri... read more

    great Jesusita Trail to Inspiration... 8.7 mi 02:27 16:53 pace

    Jesusita is a quickie. It's just 1750 ft. up to some nice views, minimally technical at this time of year, runnable pretty much the whole way. Let's just say "quickie" describ... read more

  5. RUN
    good 12 x 200m 8.57 mi 01:33 10:49 pace

    I think there were white cranes, probably the roar of surf. I'm sure the breeze was cooler, and the sun still strong and hot because fall is coming. Even in paradise, sometimes the mind goes... read more

      DANG! I admire your fortitude. I'd probably just get pissed after a couple reps and run off towards the hills. :)

      Sounds like you've fully re-acclimated to "America's Riviera" and the body's responding nicely.

      Elodie, welcome back! I have some catching up to do. I see your back in California. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and the warm winters.... Nice mileage the past week. You'll be a great motivation for me to get back in the swing of things.

  6. RUN
    good 2 x 2M Tempo 8.14 mi 01:23 10:08 pace

    Around the lagoon, down to the piers and back. The first time I saw brown pelicans fishing for dinner was at the piers on Goleta Beach. They sort of circle around until they spot their prey and t... read more

      Yup, we have pelicans nearby along the gulf-- they are entertaining to observe! Great tempo work with the long repeats, Elodie!

      Those pelicans are entertaining critters. I enjoyed watching them from Stearns Wharf when I was there. Solid tempo work, job well done!

      Pelicans are peculiar creatures, and apparently persistent. Of course, I would be too if my life depending on it.

    great Ellwood Mesa 6 mi 01:05 10:54 pace

    Ellwood has a little of everything: undulating woodland paths wrinkled with oak and eucalyptus roots, twisty dirt singletrack tracing the edge of chalk white bluffs, and of course miles of sandy be... read more

    great AM Theatre 4.17 mi 00:45 10:41 pace

    I was beset with a cold last week -- the legs are reluctant to engage all the gears yet. All my moving parts were feeling heavy. No trace of the morning marine layer that clung to us the past sev... read more

      Elodie - welcome back to CA! As soon as I read "morning marine layer" I knew you were here. Funny, when we were in SB for a weekend this summer, we noticed how odd the sun relationship is to the ocean there - very confusing for a CA native. Great run this morning.

      Good to see you back around. Is this a permanent move to CA or just a seasonal one like before?

      @Keith, neither. :) It's more than seasonal because I'll see all 2 seasons that SB has in a year, but not permanent. Originally, it was to be one academic year = 9mos. starting about now, but I got here early and will probably be leaving later.

    good Addendum 4.59 mi 00:53 11:26 pace

    88ºF earlier today edged into bearable territory with a low 48% humidity and a 9mph breeze. It probably helped that I let toddlers on tricycles pass me, too. My knees are a little tender, but com... read more
