First Bike ride of the year.  I've just been so busy and lazy I forgot to get my bike down.  Went with my old work buddies up SouthFork.  I can still beat them to the top but my legs were pretty Jelloy twards the end.

I'm staying at probably the most expensive yuppy hotel I've ever stayed, The Peninsula Hotel Beverly Hills.  I feel really out of place here, the people here are actually really rich, not just make believe rich.  I went up to the gym and Anthony Hopkins was there working his triceps.   There are people here that have been staying here for 30 days at $5000 per night, plus they rent out normal $500 a night rooms like mine just to put all the clothes they buy in.

Anyway, this morning I decided to go run the hills, I ran up Wilsire made my way up to the most famous mansion in Beverly Hills,  got lost running around all the mansions until I finally found Sunset Blvd, ran Sunset for a couple of miles just enjoying the perfect temps.  I really wish I had a better idea of where I should be running, eventually I turned around and ran back to Rodeo Dr. (didn't see a single horse on Rodeo Dr.) ran down to SantaMonica Blvd and back to the hotel.  I forgot my Garmin and didn't have any idea how far it was until I mapped it just now.  It was guessing more like 8 miles but I guess all the hills just made it feel longer. 

Great run, I wish I was here another day to go explore some more.

I went running with Nellie this morning, same as I do all the time, difference was people were lighting off fireworks at 6:00am and Nellie was very scared and upset about the whole thing.  She kept running right in front of me and stopping making running very difficult.  On the way home she was with me and then dropped behind as dogs sometimes do, after about a minute I looked back and she was gone, like disapeared gone.  I jogged back and forth calling for her and looking for her in every bush and hole I could think she could be laying in.  I looked for about 45 minutes and finally decided to run home and get the car.  When I got home she was already home,  I asked my wife and she said she came home about 30 minutes ago.  Apparently she had just had enough of running and fireworks and took the shortcut home.  Very strange, she has never done anything like that before.  Kind of ruined my run though.
