Running at Asilomar State Beach! I randomly woke up at like 6:30am today and after lying in bed sort of vaguely running through my talk in my head for a while decided that I should either run through my talk for real (not really an option with roommates) or just get up and go for a run, so I went for a run. It was extremely gorgeous again, and I got to see some more sea lions (or seals) swimming around. Fun, fun!

Quick stretch before bed.

Running at Asilomar State Beach! I'm down at Asilomar again for the Neurospora conference, and we had a 1.5h break after lunch, so I took the opportunity to get out for a run. It was perfect running conditions and absolutely gorgeous out, so it was really nice even if I wasn't feeling the best running right after lunch. I really needed a chance to not sit in a chair for a while. I was planning on running a bit further, but I found a family of 6 or 7 otters and a sea lion (or seal?) hanging out in a kelp forest, so I ended up just watching them for a while before my turn around time. Awesome run!

Abbreviated stretching before bed.

Running with Sam and Presto after lab! I got a bit stuck battling it out with python towards the end of the day, so this ended up being a bit later than I'd hoped, but it was still good to get out. Presto seems totally recovered from whatever was wrong last week, which is good!

Normal abs.

Normal stretching.

Hiking with Sam, Kyle, Ansel, and Presto out to Hilton Lakes! We headed out to Bishop for the weekend to see some friends who just moved out there before the passes close for the winter. We were initially planning on a short hike on Saturday, but there were lots of kid shenanigans, so we ended up just hiking on Sunday. Kyle carried Ansel on the hike, while Erin and Orea went to see a volcano. Ansel's mind seemed to be blown by the idea that trees could fall over and that trees that once were standing up were now lying down, which was pretty hilarious. The hike was really nice with some really beautiful alpine lakes and views of some insanely tall mountains. It's been good to get some really nice fall hikes in the past couple of weekends. It's great to have friends in such an awesome place, but I think we'll aim for visiting on 3 day weekends from now on. It was a loooong drive.

Stretching after the long drive home.
