Slacking Saturday

We didn't slack today hor! We went for a run! The first run for me since the marathon weekend! Gosh! I couldn't believe but it actually take me so long to start my workout again!

4 of us, minus that cute one, lace our running shoes and head upwards toward Griffin Park. Griffin Observatory is one of our "must see" location. So running towards there seem to be an excellent choice, though we are prepared to be hilly challenge ahead.

It was sloppy since we head out of the motel this morning. Weather was cool, wind wasn't strong in any sense. My legs are working okay. A bit stiff after so many days of inactivity(walking/shopping not counting lah).

Both my shins start to complain after a while. I can feel the pulling on the shins. Shit!

The climb up Griffin Observatory isn't expected at the beginning. We just wanted to head out for a short 30 mins run. Since we are there and the slope looks so inviting, the legs somehow cannot control and decide to take up the challenge! Haha. It was cold there, maybe that make us faster our steps. With many locals and "local koreans" walking up towards the obervatory, the impetus keep us going upwards.

It was an excellent sight when we reached. I believe we can see the world of LA from there. Hollywood "sign" can be seem there as well. There are higher hills to be tackle, but we are not prepare during this "short" run trip! Hmm...tomorrow??

My shins hurts and behind the left knee cap, the calves feel the strain(that is carry over from Disney marathon) after our 1:30hr run/walk/photos journey.

Breakfast has never been that "good". Haha.

We head out for Gatty Center for our next stop. It was a designer/architecture kind of thing. People like me, have no "class" so couldn't fully understand the significant even though i am surrounded by "strange" people. Haha.

We head towards Santa Monica Beach. It was windy and it is beautiful. The sands is cold! The sunset was beautiful. You can check out the photos! Ok, my camera isn't good, so couldn't do justice to the location. What a waste.

It was too dark when we reached Venice Beach(walk). Nothing to shout about. Sian.

The day photos are here.
