Deedee and Jake

Ran about 4 miles along the Mulholland trail this morning. Met Deedee and Jake. Deedee says she runs because of Jake, because Jake is a black Labrador Retriever and they get chubby because they eat anything and everything.

Deedee told of how she grew up in Culver City and would ride horseback with her friends to a ranch in the area of DeSoto Avenue, spend the night and ride home the next day.

She also spoke of a Wild Bill's ranch near Calabasas. This would be Wild Bill of the Wild Bill Show of course. And Bill's speciality was training cutting horses, as in the control of one's herd.

I told her she should write a blog.

Ran 8 miles on Mulholland

It was cold! Not too muddy.

Six Miles on the Trails

 
It was cold, but not too cold. The crisp air gave wonderful views. Could see the snow on the Sierras. Green is bursting from the ground everywhere after the rains.

Ran 6 miles in the Santa Monicas

It was a long run for me - need to get in shape! But it was perfect weather and I could see forever - so pretty!

Ran 4 Miles on the Beach, Swam

Santa Monica Bay sunrise was very beautiful this morning. Long, slow swells rolled in to the shore and beyond the breakers the water was smooth with little bubbles floating in the reflections of dawn's pinks and blues.
