calling all runners and running fans,


Yesterday, the day after Christmas, I ran a 14 miler and really wanted to post about it but was running late for work so I decided to prioritize and leave it for today. The long run felt great. The weather was nice and sunny and there were a ton of other runners out running as well. I know most of them are not regular runners and are just doing it because they felt guilty of all that eating the day before but it still feels good seeing others running putting in those miles. I ended up running this run along Victoria heading up to Arlington St. and up Arlington towards Moreno Valley. I like this run because of the nice scenic homes you see along the way.... I always think to myself, someday I will have that one... and that one ... and...maybe that one too. Anyways, so I made up my mind that I want to run the Huntington Beach 1/2 marathon in late January early Feb. I want to put myself out there a little more since I am training year around anyways, right? As posted before, the LA marathon has been moved to May, so this 1/2 marathon only helps me better prepare for that Challenge. On a good note, the course of the LA marathon has changed also to very popular course ran from 1996-2006. I got to run this one in 2006 and really liked it. I all happens around downtown including the start and the finish. This only makes it convenient for spectators because they don't have to drive around to get from the start to the finish like they had to for the course ran last year. This course last year started in Hollywood by Universal Studios and ended 26.2 miles always in Downtown. Even for runners, it sucked because after the run, limping and all, you had to get on the trolley or hitch a ride and head back to Hollywood to pick up your car and belongings. Moving along, today I ran a recovery 6 mile run just to loosen up my legs. It was quick and easy. Now I am waiting for my brother to come buzz my hair.... I don't think I like it long anymore like I used to. I think I will cut it shorter more often. At any rate, I am excited cause I'm off from work tomorrow...which means lots of running and working on the new salmiler project. Stay toned for the Salmiler Apparel Collection coming soon...got miles?
