All this to say I had an awesome beach run today, starting in Venice at the kooky boardwalk, heading north past the Santa Monica Pier and through packs of determined bicyclists, turning around closer to the lush mountainscape of the Palisades.
The sun was brilliant as the afternoon unfolded like a breezy summer day, with sailboats, bikinis, sand volleyball, kids on scooters and tourists (in socks!) setting the beach scene.
Not only was I happy with my pace, but I fit in some quality day-dreaming.
