California, Cal-i-forn-ya runnin'

Ran 5 miles on the beach at low tide in Los Angeles last evening just before sunset. Felt pretty good after two days ago accidentally running 13.1 miles when I meant to go 7 or 8 (longest run in 5+ years). For the last stretch on the beach I took off my shoes and ran barefoot in the hard sand, which was nice. Then we headed to a dive restaurant called The Shack and ordered The Shack Burger with fries and beer. The Shack Burger is a hamburger patty topped with lettuce, onion, tomato and a Louisiana sausage cut length-wise. This is what is called post-run full caloric replacement plus. I'm well-fed for a run in Seattle tonight.
