Wednesday's Physical Activities
Even though we've put a lot of miles on our feet this trip, I felt kind of guilty yesterday of not having run. Mind you, I can't do what Ken Johnson or Vincent Attanucci do - and that's run at least a mile every day.
If you really think about it, it really isn't that hard to do. (Gentleman, that isn't to take anything away from your accomplishment at all. I think it is absolutely incredible.) Go to the track every day, run four laps and go home. Pretty simple in theory, but much, much harder to stick to and put into practice. (I've talked about my "have to go for about an hour to make it worthwhile" theory before.)
Wednesday morning, while Waverly got a little extra sleep, I put in an hour on the treadmill here at the Marriott Courtyard in Pasadena from about 9 to 10 a.m. I kept it easy. Different treadmill model. 4.3 mph for 40 minutes and 4.5 mph for 20 minutes.
After going out to Simi Valley to go to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, we drove down the 405 to Santa Monica. We drove over to the beach, saw the famed Santa Monica Pier and then rented a pair of bikes for an hour - and got in nine casual, leisure miles.
We rode down to part of Venice Beach and then back up north of the Santa Monica Pier.
On the weekends, it's been said that it is one of the many places to see and be seen at.

I LOVE Santa Monica Pier. Manny went there nearly every weekend in the summer when he was a little kid to go fishing with his Auntie :)
And lets give props to Ken who logged consecutive day number 2000 last week. I might not make it.
You have to make it. It has already been written in the TWRC club report for the July/August issue of Inside Texas Running. :)
