Summer Draws to a Close in Southern California

That means one thing. Race season is here.

Unlike a lot of the country, race season is a fall/winter thing here. We are blessed that our winters are (while we think of them as frigid) quite temperate. Sure, in the throes of winter (January, February) we might have a race start with temps in the 40’s, but by the time the race is over, the temps are generally in the 60’s. Compare that to the summer when (OMG) temperatures could be in the 80’s and 90’s.

Right now, the “Next Up” sidebar is empty. It has been empty for a long time. I suppose that eventually a race or two will find it’s way there. For right now though, I’m barely waddling five or six miles, much less racing in a 5K.

So – while race season has started here in Socal – I’m not ready to commit yet. But keep your eyes peeled. You never know when one will show up….

  1. Looking forward to seeing that side bar populate!

    And... Fall? Err, not yet. It's 92 here in Pasadena today. No freaking way.

  2. I think you are doing just fine with what you've been doing. I haven't really noticed the changing climate. I am indoors 90% of the time. Even with the running. I need to go outside.

  4. When is that champagne 5K? No reason to race that one for time, just for breakfast. Hmm, maybe I should zip down in the putt putt and join you?

  6. No Carlsbad? Are you sure? You can stay in the Ling Hotel, right across from Jill's room! I think it's going to be fun!
