"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy." ~ Lewis Carroll
Almost exactly a year ago, I ran a 15 miler at Round Valley with Swift and Dixon. This Saturday I also ran the same workout, with Swift and Jay. It is both eerie and comforting that we repeat certain cycles in our lives. I am always so super happy when running long runs on trails. So this was a weekend that kept me on a high from beginning to end!
I followed Saturday's Round Valley run with 12 miles at Heartshorn Woods on Sunday morning, then spent most of the day at the beach at Sandy Hook. $15 per carload now! - I think the last time I went it was about half that. Found out that we avoided a 95 degree day by being on the beach and in the water. It was an awesome run, the trails were easy, but I took a spill and scraped my knee in the last mile.
Also a new discovery - you can drink beer on the first unprotected beach there with zero hassle; just put it in a cup.

You know it is a great day at the beach when there are bare feet, not many humans, Lauren has mud on her calves and ankles, I have blood on my knee, there are Dixon's black NB Minimus shoes, and a black bag with a six pack of Hoegaarden....
