I arrived at the metered beach parking lot just as the sun was beginning to set.
As I started out on my run, my body felt good. I was pleased that my calves were somewhat loose for a change.
I headed south towards the Manhattan Beach Pier.
I ran behind the building to the edge of the pier to catch the last glimpses of the blazing sunset over the dark ocean waves.
By this time, sections of The Strand were enveloped in complete darkness and my eyes cautiously scanned the pavement for uneven footing.
I relished every second of my run tonight.
I've only run that section once during a race between Hermosa and Manhattan Beach but I remember it being great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture. Such a shame that you're so anti joggler....
ReplyDelete:p
Btw, what camera do you use?
One Crazy Penguin, I use a Canon S90.
ReplyDeleteStunning photos! I can see why it was such a great run. I do a lot of work to strengthen my shoulders for the longer runs. It really helps a lot. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteRelaxed run in a beautiful setting, what's not to relish?
ReplyDeleteWow! So beautiful! I'm glad you had a great run.
ReplyDeleteThose sunset pictures are just amazing. I think I'd plop down on the beach and never get up...well, until the sun fully set :).
ReplyDeleterelaxed run in the dark last night would have been good. I 1/2 way had it down.
ReplyDeleteLovely! You have run in some great places with terrific views. Sounds like a fab run too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the reflections of light on the water. Happy running!
ReplyDeleteLove it. I just love the places you get to run. Sounds so peaceful!
ReplyDeleteWe have had THE best sunsets recently have we not? Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteYou are a great photographer Green Girl. I love your pics. Thanks for the reminder to relax the shoulders! Yes, yes, yes.
ReplyDeleteFor upper body and shoulders I have a routine I do with weights 3 times per week after my shorter runs.
ReplyDeleteThose pics of your run make me SUPER envious of your ragular runninng routes!! Eastern Washington simply cannot compete...and I have to bundle up to run :(
