8am. Jet lagged and 31C.

Damn it's hilly out here.

My 'run' has developed a 'dying man in the desert' sort of stumble but I got through it.

And MJ is starting to be a psychological tease. As my music died down and he was going to speak I slowed down thinking it was over and I could walk and he just said 'well done...that's 4 minutes. Only 1 minute to go!'

I may have uttered an expletive and questioned his parental heritage at that point.

And something is obviously working as I've now been back 15 mins and my breathing is normal.

Am yet to find a road sign.

Haha that was me on holiday last week, I know just how you felt... well done for completing 😀

Mr Smooth likes to keep you on your toes, there was one run I can't remember which, when he said "you might consider increasing your pace"

I did consider it and didn't.... he is my running crush, but my goodness I could have kicked him at that point!

Sure a suitable milestone will appear soon....

Ps where in Cal?

Monday is a holiday here and my next run so may jump in the car really early and drive down to Huntingdon Beach and do it there.

Not what you're looking for?
