The first day after landing in LA was a busy one. My friend earned his PHD, so there was a lot of champagne drinking and chocolate cake eating. Eventually by the early evening I decided to go on my favorite running route, down a bike / run path which leads right to the beach.
My run was a 6 mile progressive run there, took a break at the beach to go to my spot out on the rocks, and then did 7 less aggressive progressive miles back. Had to take that break to snap some pics of the setting sun:
My paces were:
- Mile 1- 7:18
- Mile 2- 7:01
- Mile 3- 6:59
- Mile 4- 6:48
- Mile 5- 6:20
- Mile 6- 6:11
- Mile 7- 8:00
- Mile 8- 7:51
- Mile 9- 7:35
- Mile 10- 7:24
- Mile 11- 7:12
- Mile 12- 7:09
- Mile 13- 6:46
13.4 miles | 1:35:59 | 7:09/mi
The run felt great. It was hot all day but by the evening it started cooling down, and of course there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.
So far Cali life has been good!
