Back to school after a long weekend is always tough! Well, I did manage to run after a long day of turning students away who wanted to turn in their Ambassador applications late! I'll have to go into that sometime but it is the best and worst part of my year.
So, ran the 56 west to Carmel Creek bridge and return for 7.95 miles in 76 minutes & 31 seconds. Then worked the scoreboard for the Dons opening round crushing of Brawley 88 - 43. I think the boys only led by 12 at the half. They obviously picked it up in the 2nd half & will play again on Friday which looks to be a triple header with both soccer teams playing as well. 3, 5, & 7pm! Roll Dons!
On a beer note, I had the opportunity to finally try Pliny the Younger, side by side with the Elder at a benefit at BLAH! (They were just tasters so I don't consider that cheating! :) Wow, it almost lived up to all the hype, what a great couple of beers. Also tried Ballast Point Barmy Ale for the 1st time too, that was a big surprise in a great way, although I should never be surprised by the awesomeness that keeps flowing out of BP! If you have never been, you have to go soon! Great stuff! 21 or older please! ;)
Well, there are many places and ideas that came together to make me want to do this crazy journey and 1 of them is my favorite band, RUSH. They put out 2 new songs about a year & 1/2 to 2 years ago and one is called Caravan. Part of the chorus goes "I can't stop thinking BIG, I can't stop thinking BIG, In a world where I feel so small, I can't stop thinking BIG!" If this wasn't thinking BIG enough, I don't know what to tell ya!
In case you don't know my extended goal, I really want to reach the 2112 mark as Rush had a very pivotal album by that name in their early career and I don't think I'm going to see that year & if I do, I doubt I'll be running 2112 yards much less miles! So for your enjoyment, RUSH:

Sorry that was a little long winded! Time for bed and a day off tomorrow that I will be riding around Mission Bay to get my Sunday mileage! Good night!
Total Miles: 289.58 + Sunday Pace: 280.36 not including Sunday (I'll have this fixed soon!)
Love you Mom & Dad! <3
