i love running by the beach
so cal needs rain.... i know this. but the last day of rain had me really gloomy. so today at about 11 a.m. when i saw the sun peak through i got into my gear and went out to santa monica.
when it gets rainy, the beach population changes. homeless people and movie stars. also, the homeless get suddenly very bold. it was nice to see the beach in a different light - kinda grey, kinda wet, sunlight piercing through. had my ipod blaring, but that didn't stop me from hearing one homeless guy ask me "what does ching chong mean?" and another one scream "go bruins!" and when i didn't reciprocate, he proceeded to scream "what!? go eat shit!"
then i saw paparazzi with their long lenses packing up so i wondered who had just ventured out to the empty beach. i guess it's a perfect time for celebs to be out right around the rains since so few people are out.
then i saw vince vaughn ride by on his bike next to some other guy. he stuck out like a sore thumb, wearing a nice pair of jeans with one leg rolled up and a nice blazer. huh? uhhh... ok.
as for the running progress, i guess i'm working back up again. i can finally do 3 miles w/o feeling like dying, but i still do the whole 4 minute job/30 second walk pattern. whatever, it gets the job done.
la is perfect for running in the winter. yay.
