running (trails) 1:44:00 [3] 10.0 mi (10:24 / mi)
Mid morning run in santa monicas. Best run of the year so far.
Short road stretch to get from hotel to trailhead.
Much steeper and rockier than any of my usual runs at home. I intended this to be shorter and to stay 140-150 hr but the weather was perfect (60 and sunny) and the views were clear so I opted to stretch it out a litlle. I tried to form a loop as opposed to an out-back. This worked eventually but I had to hustle back the las mile from truinfo to the hotel to make my meetings.
The desire to saty zone 3 and under for Jan/Feb meant more of a fast hike on the longer climbs to keep below 150. Couldn't maintain 140 on the descents due to footing.
