California

I've been singing that tune-"California here I come..." Wow! The traffic is unreal!! You know you are from the hills when six lane highways are mind blowing! ! The people are nice! Very friendly and cooperative. The environment is different. Lots of brown yards. I heard that they are behind in rainfall. Beautiful homes! Wow...the gated community I saw today was amazing!
I had to get up early and head out immediately because of the conference schedule. I found myself running fast! My goal was the beach! I am located about 1/2 mile from HWY 101, this runs along the ocean. I enjoyed it! Had to run back and get Sandy and take her to the ocean. So vast! I am so disappointed that I won't be able to meet up with Anne and Meg. The conference is important, and I need to not miss anything. Maybe some day, though. I'm thinking about running a marathon out here.
I figured about 4 miles today. No running tomorrow...no time...or Wednesday...traveling....so the taper is not starting too well? Congratulations to Carlee, Bill, and Jamie on running such great times in their marathon! Peace!
