I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter. The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance. Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

I'm no longer acclimated to warm weather. Damn you Southern Califormia for making me soft!

3 mile PT test had me gasping for air and I passed by the skin of my teeth.

Pushups, situps, pullups all need work but I passed.

Swim was okay, but I passed.

Nothing to write home about. Probably not blog-worthy either.

The plan was to run for an hour in the sand and turn back and run in the sand.

What happened was we got tired after 5 miles and wogged back on the sidewalk.

Then we drank all the beer I had brewed a month or two ago. Homebrew is probably the best post-workout drink ever. At the very least it's my favorite post-workout drink.

Tempo with Randy, Jon and Jeremy.

7:29 pace including the minute I was standing still fumbling to stop the timer. You do the math only because I suck at word problems.

Easy run down the Strand. Red tide is in and the plankton are bioluminescent when disturbed. The crashing waves glowed blue. After my run, I walked down the pier. You could see the fish make glowing contrails beneath the surface. I never knew how fast or erratic fish swam. It was like watching fireworks in the ocean.

One step forward: 2 hour hike with 2000' evalation gain and 1.5 hour pool session.

Two steps back: Carne asada/french fry burrito and everyone's leftovers.
