Just a Minute Here…

I’m shuffling my training around this week. It’s been unseasonably hot, humid, and stormy. We’re just not used to this type of stuff here in Southern California.

First off, on Sunday, I went to do my miles in the hills. I was greeted by 20 mph winds, a temperature of 63 degrees, and rain. Yes. Rain. In August. Very unusual.

I opted to put the run off until Monday. Then on Monday:

The weatherman was talking all weekend about the heat wave making it way into Southern California following our stormy weather. Well – it got here with a vengeance:

This was at the beach mind you – which means humidity up around 50% or so. All of this is so strange to us Southern Californians!

Well, I’ve been adjusting this week. Since it was still in the mid 80’s Tuesday evening, I moved my Tuesday run to Wednesday early AM, likewise will be moving Wednesday’s run to Thursday AM. And you can see that by Friday, things get back to normal around here. All the more reason to not move to Southern California.

This week’s plan:

• Tuesday Wednesday: 3 miles
• Wednesday Thursday: 4 miles
• Thursday Friday: 3 miles
• Saturday Sunday: 5 miles

Slowly but surely….

The Next Day…

The waves weren’t quite as big, but the action was better!

Oh. And I did get out for a run in the evening….

I Took a Break on Thursday…

To go see something that happens once every few years. Check it out:

Some of these are 20 feet high. That’s like looking down a two story building.

Back to the training grind on Friday.
