Tourist running
Ted is the king of running marathons because they are there and so is he (Hamptons 2011). The runningprofs, in particular our founders Philip and Spencer, have made combining running with work in cool cities an art form. And I like to think I'm able to find myself in as wild an event as anybody. Tomorrow is the Big Sur marathon. I've run it once before and occasional contributor Jessie has two finishes under his belt. Hills, views, _wind_, and about 5 distinct weather systems combine with runner-hippie counterculture to make an incomparable weekend here in Carmel. Report on tomorrow's race forthcoming. Below, if the attachment took, the view from Hurricane Point at about mile 12.

ReplyDeleteWow!! I've driven from Carmel to Big Sur on Route 1. It is just spectacular. I've long thought that would be a fun Marathon if I happened to live in California. Enjoy yourself Max, and tell me how it is that you think it's a good idea to do this less than two weeks after Boston?
ReplyDeleteNo attachment, but not too shabby for 2 weeks after Boston (and the exhausting recovery run last weekend in Chicago).
