Summary: A leisurely convertible trip with puppies, lunch at A&W, and a tourist stop at Obrien. Concerns about wildfires back home cut the trip short, leading to a hasty return with eerie skies. Despite the interruption, a knitting project was taken along and worked on during the journey.

Laguna Seca – Day 7
This morning, during the morning run, I did a gravity check again. As before it was because I was distracted and not watching where I was going. I was trying to look down a side road to see the front of an interesting looking building. As I gave a running step off the curb, my left… Continue reading Laguna Seca – Day 7
