One of the many benefits of my job - besides the fabu wine is that I get to attend meetings around the state in some pretty fantastic locations. One of those locations is the golfers paradise that is
Pebble Beach. We got there last Saturday and I never wanted to leave. Although I am just a novice golfer, I still appreciate why people travel from around the world to experience Pebble. The fact that I am
extremely lucky spoiled rotten to have been here four times in the past year is not lost on me. On the way there we stopped to rehydrate and do a little cuddling at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Calera - Possibly the best Pinot I've had in CA |
On Monday while everyone else was golfing, I got in a 10 mile run along 17 mile drive. I averaged right around 9 min miles and felt great for the entire run. It might have been the views:

Tuesday was a rest day and Wednesday morning I busted out 400's on the treadmill which were tough. I averaged 2 min per 400 x 10 but I was pouring sweat and breathing pretty heavy. Total of 5.5 miles including warm up/cooldown.

View from the Treadmill! |
Thursday I was back in SF and got in a late night 4.5 mile tempo run and a quick 15 min weight session. Yesterday/Friday was my company party and dinner with friends so I "rested" and currently I am sitting on my couch blogging and on-line x-mas shopping* while delaying my inevitable 13 mile long run today to round out the week with a total of 33 miles. Guess I better get to it.
*So far I've made an order to refill my
Nuun stash and I am debating whether to pull the trigger on the new turquoise/pink
Brooks Launch. Tis the season after all.
Awesome! Looks like a great week!! Those views look amazing and am looking forward to the views at Big Sur!!!
ReplyDeleteHope we can run together next weekend!!!
