3 February 2019 – Surf City Half Marathon – Huntington Beach, CA USA

For the 3rd year in a row, I am working to earn my surfboard medal. This is usually my first race of the year and serves to keep me accountable through December and January. This race is a nice flat course that mostly follows the Pacific Coast Highway. The Saturday before this year’s race was rather scary with lots of rain and colder temperatures. However, race...

31 January 2019 – Hollywood, CA, USA

On a rainy day in late January, I decided to finally take a trip to visit Hollywood.

I’ve been visiting Puerto Rico on and off since 2012. Last year they had a major Hurricane which resulted in all kinds of problems from rolling blackouts to a loss of general services. I have friends who live on the Island. They keep me up to date how things are going. This year, as a birthday present for mi novia, I decided on a half week trip at the end of...
