A few years ago I lived in Glad's Castle in Morro Bay (another set of long stories--also not relevant) and ran from there out to Morro Rock and back every day. A few times of year I was rewarded by a full moon setting in the ocean near the Rock. Doesn't happen as often as you'd think--fog, lighting, time of year etc.
Yesterday I realized full moon was here, timing was pretty good. I got up at 6:30 and saw it was clear. Decided to drive to Morro Bay, take a few shots and do a run. The shots were so-so. We'll see how they look after Photoshop.
The run was nostalgic--I've run along the Embarcadero with Team in Training several times in the past few years, but that's Saturday. Haven't done a weekday since June of 06. Much had changed--paths, buildings etc, but I knew about that from TNT. The people were the interesting thing--saw some familiar faces walking--just like they were in '06--even a few cars I remembered were stopped for breakfast at the same places. Also saw TNT coordinator doing her morning run--we were both a little surprised to see each other -LOL!
I had never driven in the Newtons--that is a little strange. The shoes were fine on the boardwalk--a very hard composite. Wind was stiff (still in Los Osos) and I'll post about that later--wind at the Rock can be insane.
Now thinking of doing Morro Bay every Wednesday. Not a bad run and can be stretched up over 10 miles pretty easily, there are restrooms and water at decent intervals. Avila area is better, but Morro Bay is 7 minutes away. I can also run a little earlier -- there are enough streetlights to enable pre dawn start times.
Daylight savings time ends in less than a month, but a month later most the gain in AM light is gone.
Probably be doing some afternoon running soon.
