So Zac and I have had some great runs the last couple of days. Today, we made the fun, and hilly trek from Santa Maria over to Pismo Beach. We had our first run along today, as our amazing friend and host for the last couple days Daniel joined us for the run and gotContinue reading “What drives us….”

What a Memorial Day we had. Spending it with Bob, Janet, and their family was very fun and relaxing. Paul and I felt really loved and part of the family throughout our stay. Oh and we can’t forget Peanut. How could we? That dog gave us so much love. On our rest day Janet tookContinue reading “Where the Butterfly Goes to Die”

So Sunday morning Zac and I prepared for another exciting (and exhausting) marathon length run from Ventura to Santa Barbara California. We had had the opportunity to scout out the run the day before when our friend Kenny picked us up to let us crash at his place for the night before, and we wereContinue reading “So cop cars go how fast?”

I’ve learned four things. One being that seemingly everyone in California cycles. I’m pretty sure that we have past thousands of bicyclers already as they all ride up and down the coast. Team after team pass by as they wave or give a confused facial expression. The second being that California is very green. EspeciallyContinue reading “1+1+1+1=4”

Oxnard is one of Californias most agriculturally rich areas. On our run this morning we had a brisk 20 miler under the over cast sky through cabbage, tomato, grass, and tons of strawberry fields. Today seemed to impress all of our senses with the beautiful weather, sights, smells, birds singing, and, well I guess tasteContinue reading “Strawberry Fields”

Zac and I had an awesome day off at “Wilson World” and were sad to leave sunny Malibu this morning. We have both been so encouraged by everyone’s comments and we take so much pleasure in reading them. Even though Zac and I agree that this is by far the most difficult task either ofContinue reading “Following the Pelicans…”

What a stretch of miles this day was. Beautiful scenery and great little streets to run through. And we weren’t even out of LA! As we left Redondo Beach, our course took us along Manhattan Beach, Playa Del Rey beneath LAX, through Marina Del Rey and Venice, continuing on through Santa Monica’s arts district andContinue reading ““So I’m assuming you two are partners?” (5/20)”

The night before our run for Tuesday was spent in La Mirada with a friend of ours. He drove to Huntington Beach, picked us up and the hilarity began. That evening I felt like I was back home hanging out with friends, while stories were told back and forth. Mr. Grindle, you are the man!Continue reading “At Home (5/19)”

After our tumultuous day at Pendleton, Zac and I were definitely in need of some rest and relaxation. Our stay in Dana Point was the much needed rest that we could have asked for. After an 11 hour sleep, we ate, then read, then slept, then ate, then ate again, and again, then slept. ForContinue reading “Providence and Divine Appointments”

Well, we are done with our first set of runs (each set consists of three days of running. Tomorrow is our much needed rest day, and I want to stress the “much needed”. All three runs so far have been above average and tough. A lot of hills and a lot of cyclists. The attractivnessContinue reading “I swear I saw a Velociraptor.”
