I was running up Baldy Road (Claremont, CA) towards Mt. Baldy when all of a sudden I saw dust clouds start popping up out of nowhere.  Then rocks started to slide down the side of the mountain and I heard what sounded like a bomb explosion.  I personally thought that they might be doing some weapons testing (my imagination going wild) or perhaps some mining (more of my imagination) in the local mountains.  Turns out we had a 5.4 earthquake.  It only lasted several seconds and because I  was outdoors, it didn’t feel like much. 

Anyway, I ran 7 miles in the foothills at about 3000 ft of elevation.   It was smoggy as hell so I’m sure I breathed the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes.  But I have to say that the workout was worth it.  I burned 1300 calories (according to my Garmin).  Can’t wait till tomorrow’s 2600 calorie workout.

Happy Training,

DAVE
