16 miles on the Coast

Met Theresa at 4:15 am and began our run from Starbucks in Carmel Valley. You realize we always start at a Starbucks for some incentive when we are on the run home. We went north 8 miles to Cardiff State Beach and back. Out in 1:01 and back in 56:30, so that was good for a negative split. Felt good, though dark (as usual) and humid this morning. Theresa is a firm believer that wearing a shirt slows one down. I am always conscious that I don't want to offend anyone by running naked, but today it was hot, so off the shirt came. I actually missed the pool this morning, but leaving for LA tonight left me little choice but to do the long run today. Glad that is in the bag and now we can enjoy the weekend.
