Had to get up at 3am this morning to get in a run in New York before our flight.  Then had to run in the rain freezing the whole time.  When we got on the plane it took me 20 minutes to get Laguardia clearance to clear our flight plan because of the weather and then we had to sit 40 minutes in line at the runway behind Donald Trump's 727 because they were changing their flight plan last minute.  Probably rescheduling the hair appointment for the fox on his head.  One of those mornings.  Thank goodness for 3 cans of diet coke and chocolate chip cookies.

Late afternoon I was sitting on the beach in LA and trying to decide if I should stay on my schedule, which was nothing, or go run.  The sunshine won out and I went for an easy 9 miles.

Great job. All those so called experts that recommend tapering are idiots. Pay them no mind.

That just cracked me up! I know. But I'm a runner and no way was I missing a run on the beach as the sun sets.
