I really didn't think too hard about my decision when a dear friend of mine invited me to go run a half marathon with her near her hometown in California. Let's see--run the entire half marathon along the beach in November . . um, ok!
It was a quick trip, but amazing. We stayed with her second 'mom' and I got to see where Tirsa grew up, where she went to high school and the beaches she frequented. I can see why it's hard for her to not live there anymore. We got to shop at some of the best outlets I've ever seen, enjoy a day touring the area and of course, the race along the beach.
I had a personal best in the race finishing in 2:07, which was a bonus, but I will say that despite some nasty hills, running at sea level was just awesome. My lungs never burned and I felt great the whole time. We watched the sun rise over the beach and got to lie on the beach after the race for a bit.
Thanks, Tirsa, for an amazing weekend! Love you.
