February 25th, Saturday

What a beautiful day for a run on the beach!  I had the pleasure of running in the 2nd annual Teen Driving Safety 5K at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas this morning.  We ran north on the beach and the tide got a little high but some wet feet were survived!  I ran the course twice to get some miles in (7.09) in about 69 minutes.

They had a few speakers that were good reminding us all that using your phone while driving in ANY WAY is dangerous and just a couple of seconds can make all the difference when we are traveling at speed.  The driving while intoxicated is just such an obvious thing now that I can't understand how it happens but unfortunately it does.

I found a short video from the inaugural event on YouTube to get a glimpse.  The last speaker, I believe is name was Victor, was pretty powerful.  He has stepped up his game as a speaker from this video & his strength in overcoming his difficulties is very inspiring.  I'll put up this year's video if it gets posted in the near future.

Time to get some more grading done!  A teacher's job never stops!  Take care, enjoy your weekend!
Before I go, a Don's sports update:  Boys soccer advance to the semis by defeating West hills 2-0 last night.  Boys Hoop crushed Olympian 90-43 to move on to the semis.  Girls soccer dismantled Monte Vista 7-0 with Betsy Muirhead scoring a hat trick!  On to the semis for them!  Girls hoop played tonight at Valley Center and what a barn burner it was!  They were down by as many as 13 I believe and down by 8 at the half but rallied back to push the game to overtime where they won on a last second jumper by Wendy Anae at the elbow!  What an exciting game! On to the semis! ROLL DONS!

Love you Mom & Dad!  <3

Total miles: 324.16    Pace runner: 307.85  Getting back ahead feels good!
