My Annual Pre-Thanksgiving Run (AKA Let's Burn Some Calories to Make Way for Pumpkin Pie)

My favorite time to run is the hour before sunset. So in the winter when sunset is at 4:30 it's rare that I get out of work in time to run when I really want. Which is why I LOVE the day before Thanksgiving. We close the office at 3pm and I head out the door to get a nice long run in before sunset.

Today I did a loop from the Shores to UCSD and to have an excuse to rest, I decided to take a photo at every mile.

Mile 1: New Lifeguard Station.  Lovely isn't it?  Look ma, no filters needed on this photo.

Mile 2: Bridge Over (River) Shores

Mile 3: 5 MPH Not a Problem, That's My Favorite Pace!

Mile 4: Power Lines.

Mile 5: Just in Time - Finished at Sunset

The Adventures of Aimee the Dog: Today's Episode - Doggie Paddle

It was a misty morning at Dog Beach.  Aimee the dog ventured out for a run with her friends on the beach.


Suddenly she spied her favorite tennis ball in distress floating out to sea.  But who would rescue it?  The ball was so far away, and Aimee had never been swimming.


Aimee tried to enlist her shaggy dog friends, but they were no help.


*SPLASH* Aimee to the rescue! 


Aimee and her ball made their way back safely to shore. 


What further adventures await Aimee and her tennis ball? Stay tuned 'til next time!
