Life Is A Beach

Note: Photograph taken by: Guy from Wisconsin. Post processing: Jennifer Trenchard.

Went for my morning run along the Marvin Braude pathway in Santa Monica again this morning. Gorgeous blue bird day, but one with a very different atmosphere compared to yesterday. The weekend is here and with it comes athletics on the beach. I saw people doing tai chi, yoga, boxing, and various other morning exercises. And when I wasn’t being passed by runners in groups of 40 to 100 people, I was busy trying to keep on the path while watching women’s beach volleyball teams warm up. On top of all that, there was a massive youth soccer tournament setting up. In a nutshell, the beach was alive with people playing sports. But the one thing that stood out to me the most, mainly because I have always wanted to try it, was the surfing crowd. VW vans, trucks, and Jeeps were all pulling up with surfboards on their roofs. This is my kind of world.

I made a quick stop at an on-beach exercise “gym” to see how many pull-ups I could do (why not?), then grabbed some breakfast, found a nice spot in the sand, and just laid there, listening to the waves from the ocean break against the shore.

The above photo is myself and Jennifer Trenchard. It was taken yesterday by a guy from Wisconsin who was also enjoying the view.
