I could not have found a different beach on the western end of the continent: Pescadero State Beach, California. Cold, rocky, foggy, nearly deserted – I bundled up tightly as I wandered down from the parking lot. Took the duct tape with “ATLANTIC OCEAN” written on it from the bottle it had been sealing for two months, and let it fly. The water bloomed in the air, fell into the Pacific, and it was done.
Quirky and strange thing to do, but oddly fitting.

I’m writing this sitting on campus at Rice, soaking in the humidity and watching the oak trees grow.
I did it yesterday: almost twice around the Outer Loop. Hot, sticky, people-dodging and painful – about how I expected it’d be when I was in college. But hey, I got it done, and that’s my long run for this week taken care of.

I completed the Blue Ridge Parkway this past week, with Skyline Drive thrown into the mix at the north end. Totally gorgeous and seemingly never-ending. It’s a great way to get from the East Coast to the South if you have a couple of days to waste doing it.
Asheville is a cute little Berkeley in the middle of the mountains of North Carolina. How the heck did that happen?
