I was back in the Laguna Coast yesterday. I got a late start. No. I didn’t need to wear sleeves:
Seen at the Pacific Ridge Trailhead. Can I join this team?
Is it really January? Yes it is! That’s why I live in Socal!
The sunset was pretty dramatic:
I really wanted to head down into Emerald Canyon, but with my 4:45 PM start, it was going to get dark on my way out of there:
So, instead, I turned around at the 3 mile mark and headed back along Bommer Ridge to the car. It got really dark. I’m glad I had my headlamp:
By the way – I ran into a set of glowing eyeballs in the distance about half a mile from my car. Does anyone know if a coyote has two forward facing eyes?
Ha ha! I’m pretty sure it was a coyote. I mean it seemed to be more afraid of me than I was of him, because as I crept closer, it stopped and then bounded up the hill. No. It wasn’t a rabbit….
6 miles yesterday. 4 miles today.
Awesome photos, Glenn....and I'll try not to hate you for the weather report! Being a former resident of the Southland, I remember the oppressive winter cold....oh, wait a minute, it was never really cold in the winter......ugh.....now I'm getting depressed from the memory.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of heat I can handle -- I can still run after 4 PM rather comfortably. Win!
ReplyDeleteMaking me green with envy! And those trails look so inviting...sigh.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see you back at it, and in a big way. I'm still unsettled by this uber summer weather.
ReplyDeleteIt has been SO warm and lovely here. California is so freaking great!!!
ReplyDeleteI see coyote all the time at the state park I run a lot, they really are curious but never have had any bother me. One time though I was on the trails and there were three right in front of me. I stopped dead in my tracks and was pretty terrified; 3 against one on their territory was not something I wanted to find out who won, so I backtracked and got on the main bike path. Phew!
ReplyDeleteThe sunset here yesterday was absolutely stunning, too. I was swimming laps and the glass block wall was just glowing pick and orange.
Meg's going to get ahold of you for a little carb dinner :).
Warm enough to break out in a sweat just thinking about running :)
ReplyDeleteI would just be happy enough with 40 degrees right now. Great photots man. Maybe it was a ghost or some creature of sort. Or maybe those people off of the movie "Wrong Turn". Oh wait, your in Socal! nevermind. Great Running, keep it up!
