Soooooo, this morning I got up early and joined a couple clubbers at 5:30am in Santa Monica for a little Run before ACME Coach, Konrad Ribeiro's, Ocean Speed Circuit workout. As soon as I pulled up and we began our warm-up, I was reminded how much I love Wed. mornings in the summer here in LA... I mean, I LOVE THEM. It was clear and crisp this morning... the moon was actually still out and it was super bright, casting this amazing shine onto the ocean. About 6am AS the moon was still shining, the sun was coming up and the orange/yellow rays were glistening on the tops of buildings and on the SM Pier. It was really beautiful.
We ran North, from the boardwalk, up Bay Street and onto Ocean Blvd. turning around just shy of San Vicente. It was a nice 40-min run and we were back in time to grab our caps/goggles, and for some, our wetsuits, before heading to the shoreline behind K-Man.
There is very little that beats this workout before the work-day begins. Don't sleep in. I'm one of those that waits until the Ocean is pretty darn warm before putting a pinky-toe in... but, it's summer and the time is NOW to be in the big-blue. ....This weekly Wed. morning workout is worth an extra bit of driving for those of you on the westside fray.....
I've added the 5:30am run to the LATC workout calendar ... consider it a pre-Ocean Speed Circuit warm up... it makes that initial plunge into the ocean even more refreshing. Come, run at your own pace & we'll see you next Wed. for as long as the Circuit remains on the calendar. Afterwards, you can join your buddies for a group-shower before heading out to the weekly grind. ; )
Here are some pics from this morning, of the Ocean Speed Circuit as well as Tim Bomba's Ocean 101 clinic, just before they took the plunge... too bad I didn't have my camera on the run to capture the view from Ocean Blvd.http://www.latriclub.com/photos/
