When my trainer Keinan told me that my Saturday run would be 12 miles on the beach I was very excited and couldn't wait for Saturday morning to get here. I had a rough week I lost my job and well....running keeps me sane and is my therapy. I was hoping I could run more during the week now that I have time, but he said it wouldn't be a good idea since that has not been in my training plan and we cant risk injury with the Marathon so close. With that being said I really need that 12 mile run to clear my mind and relax.
I went to Huntington Beach and started off at the pier and just ran..... The time I did my 16 miles I went to Huntington Beach to Seal Beach and back so I figured about where it would be 6 miles to turn back. Well by the time I got back to where I started I checked my ipod and it was a good 14 miles. The run was amazing and so relaxing I felt great!!!! I couldn't believe how good I felt inside and out.... it was perfect minus my butt hurting towards the end, but I was so focused and relaxed I looked past it! The weather was great too when I got up it had just finished raining so the air was nice and crisp it was a little over cast I want to say about mile 6-8 the sun was peaking it felt nice then back again to cloudy with the breeze. The day of the Marathon I might have to reflect on this run since it was so relaxing to me. Just thinking about it and writing about it is bringing a smile to my face.....Pace 10:48 min/mi

Side Note: I'm starting to dig having chocolate milk after my runs LOL although when I was running an ice cold beer sounded so gooooooood! I got home and was craving breakfast food so I opened a beer and had one but for some reason it wasn't giving me the satisfaction I envisioned when I was running. LOL
