Spring is here.

I didn't think a bad day could be helped, but I went for a run and thought, in the words of Barney Stinson, "I can turn this around."

I haven't been running much lately, and I certainly haven't been training as I'd like for a 24 hour run. But I still go out for a 45 minute easy run. And now that I am with my girlfriend Becca in Monterey Bay, California, I have the good fortune to run on the beach anytime I'd like. I also get to pick wildflowers, a simple delight of mine. Although recently I did learn that picking Poppies in California is illegal, as it is the state flower. My bad, Cali, my bad.
