Before I headed back down south for San Diego, Aunt Cynthia and I left for an early morning run. She is in training for the LA Marathon so her distance today was 20miles. I was just running for the heck of it I guess. We left from 3rd street off toward the Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach. After about 2 miles I was dying due to the fact that my Aunt Cynthia, was killing me with her pace. She was going at that point an even 9:30, where I run a comfortable 10:00 mile. So I said peace out and ran back toward Santa Monica. I decided to take my time on the way back, take some pictures….

As I ran down the Palisades, I enjoyed running on the grass for once, as I usually run on concrete. It was a nice break. I took this picture of the coast below:

At this point I was planning to run maybe 6-7 miles, but around mile 4 I started to realize all the restrooms were locked…For whatever reason. I have no idea. So I had to book it back to my Uncle Lee’s house. I took this picture of the guys I was trailing on my way back:

So that pretty much ended my run, unfortunately…but I plan on getting another run in today…Luckily I am not in training for any marathons any time soon.
