Met up with Kim Dion's running group of about 16 people. We Started up in the mountains somewhere an hour and a half drive from Calrsbad. It started at about 6000' and we ran Extreme trail mostly down for 8 miles and all up on the way back. It was some serious climbing! We walked a lot! to hard to run.I could still feel my legs from the marathon but it was a good arse kicking. I stayed close to Kim so no weirdos bugged us. lol We got to mile 15 with a mile left and ran smack dab into a bee swarm. Thousands of them! I went about 50' into them and had to turn around. They were attacking my sunglasses. Luckily one of the group had his vehicle on a road near there everyone opted to jump into his suv and ride back to the start. One of the runners got lost for an hour or so but was found and we had a good solid run.

No. They were weird but I didn't want to push through them and Kim was running back which made me laugh.

Just glad they were not killer bees!!! I hear those are coming to attack us.

Sounds like a fun run regardless, not sure how you even did any of it with marathon legs.

I guess some of the orher runners that were ahead of us went through them. Crazy runners!

It was so hard. I couldn't have run it hard with the faster guys for sure.
