One last run here in Pismo Beach before heading home from LAX tonight.

9 miles easy - just exploring. Then breakfast at the hotel which included lots of sugar and simple carbs so Ann and I walked a couple miles on the beach to counteract the insulin spike.

11 miles on the Jeremy Ranch Road. It's packed snow up to the Morgan County line and very runnable in trail shoes. Feels a lot like running on packed beach sand which I've done a lot lately. Once you get to the barn the road is considerably less maintained but still runnable for a while in tire ruts. I turned around at 5.5 miles.

Wrapped up 2015 with a stellar treadmill run. Alternating hard/easy quarter mile segments for a little over 10 miles.

I've been listening to Chris Stapleton's Traveller album a lot lately. Love it! Especially good is his cover of the old George Jones classic "Tennessee Whiskey". Stay away though if you don't like your grandpa's country music or songs about whiskey and women problems.

Loaded up the whole family (4 people total) and travelled to the Olympic Oval this morning. Everyone ran including Andy who had to be bribed with a chicken sandwich after. Ran into Steve Ashbaker at the end - it's been a while. Had a nice conversation about child rearing and how the Ashbaker kids should go to Alta High. Especially if they can run.

PM: Experimental 4.25 mile run. So I've had this chronically achy and tight right hamstring and left hip for months which is really messing with my running in every way possible. Today I did about a half hour of foam rolling and then went for an easy run. It really helped the hamstring, less so the hip but the hip was a little better. I think I need to figure out a way to do it 30 minutes a day. Might have to invest in one for my classroom.
