Southern California - Week of May 25 (18 / 28)

"Make friends with pain, and you will never be alone." Ken Chlouber

Monday

Oceanside run. Yoga, LM, LS, 5 miles. GSM and stretch. I was up early and started in the gym.

Tuesday

Oceanside run. Yoga, LM, 5 miles. Planks and yoga.

Wednesday

Afternoon run at Mission Bay. 3 miles easy. Mission Bay is beautiful, the weather was sunny but windy. Justin and I did an easy out and back. It was nice sharing a run with him.

Thursday

Gym session. RDL, squats, calf and lunge. 3 sets of 4. Push ups 4 x 10. Pull downs #100, 4 x 5. Sit ups 2 sets.
Carlsbad run. 5 miles. This was my first shirtless run while on vacation and the weather was spectacular. I left town heading south for a 5 mile out and back. I ran by the cliffs which were breath taking. This was probably my fastest run of the week as well as my fifth run day in a row. 
I feel I was motivated both by the beauty of southern California and my vacation book "Born to Run". There is a vibe here, unlike anywhere I've ever been.

Friday

Travel day to L.A. We went to Santa Monica and walked about 10 miles. That was my workout for the day. We walked down the boardwalk to Muscle Beach, Venice, to the end of the Santa Monica Pier and then to the Third Street Promenade. 

Saturday

Travel day home. Exhausted. 

Sunday

Post-vacation hangover. My running mileage for this week was down, but my time on my feet was very high.
