I’ve tried running here. My host is a bit into running, but we didn’t get very far the first time. I totally confused my Garmin Forerunner. It took several minutes before it gave up trying to figure out where it was and asked “Have you travelled hundreds of miles since your last use?”
Today running went much better.
I’ve been partying a little too hard, and for the longest time I wasn’t getting adequate sleep. Strange bed, strange hours. It finally caught up with me yesterday evening, and so we collapsed in bed instead of going out to a party. The party would have been at a semi-outdoor venue, and it is (relatively) chilly here. So last night I finally got a decent night’s sleep. Which meant that when we went for a run this morning, we felt good.
I have to keep slow because my host is not at my level of fitness. (who is?) But it is a beautiful run around here. We headed towards the Hollywood hills, AKA Hollywoodland. I’m glad I had a local guide, because otherwise I would have gotten lost. It’s a maze. Anyway, we encountered a garage sale and my host wanted to buy stuff. I’m glad we were able to come back with a car because I wasn’t looking forward to running back carrying a big pot. That would have looked like we had just stolen soup from someone’s home.
We got close to the big Hollywood sign, but I don’t think you can get right up to it. I’ll have to try and get a better view later.
