I just got back from running to Santa Monica Beach and back. It's a nice 11-12 (somewhere around there) run from my apartment. It's the third time I've run it since last week, and it's gotten pretty easy.
Today's run was one of the more interesting of its kind. I decided to run by myself because MyungHoon Dominic hates running with me. I definitely wished I could have shared my run with someone else today. Firstly, after like a mile of running, I felt the poop in my system wanting to come out. I cursed myself for not unloading before the run, and then I started to look for place I could poop. I knew there were a couple of Rite-Aids and CVS's along the way, but I had no clue how much longer I would be able to hold it.
I decided not to take the gamble and stopped at Pet Depot, a veterinary/pet store. I ran into the store yelling, "Excusemedoyouguyshaveapublicrestroom?!?!?!" while I was sweating profusely in my skin tight UnderArmour shirt. The lady pointed to the back and I ran there with all the dogs and birds making noise. They doubled the bathroom as a storage room, so I got to read the bag labels of pet shavings while I dropped a deuce. Definitely would have been funny if a running partner had to wait for me outside of the store.
Then on the way back after I hit the beach, I almost got run over... TWICE. The first time, the lady didn't see me while she was making a left. She got close enough for me to punch her car and curse her. Damn women. But it isn't just women who can run me over. The second car that almost hit me was a guy, also making a left turn. He saw me and everything, but he was just trying to be greedy instead of waiting patiently. This one was much worse because he tried avoiding me, but ended up getting closer to running me over. Next time, I'm gonna wear bright bright bright neon highlighter colored clothes. Maybe just run naked to get their attention.
And THEN, I witnessed an accident. I didn't actually see the collision, but I heard the EERRRRRR*CRASH*!!! Once the car in my line of vision moved, I saw that an old Honda hit a new BMW. For some reason, I've been itching to see an accident, and I finally got my wish. But it kinda made me sad since it looked like the old Honda model got really messed up AND the Honda seemed to be in fault. The BMW looked perfectly fine. =/ Hope no one was hurt in that.
That was my running adventure today.
*EDIT*
I forgot to add that while I was running back, a homeless guy yelled out "GOOD JOB KEEP IT UP" as I ran by. Hahaha Thanks Mr. homeless man.

do you just run down wilshire? try running down san vicente. there aren't that many signal lights through brentwood and santa monica and there's quite a number of people that run through that way. it leads you right to ocean blvd(?). there's this big divider in the middle of the street that's all grass or there's the bike lane. that might be safer.
so when you're running down wilshire, make a right onto san vicente and it'll turn and lead you to the end.
HAHAHAHA this post is too funny. i wish i was there!!
wow.. i dont get how you can run so much o.o
