Big Sur - Maybe

I got me a case of them low down, post-marathon blues. I spent a nice quiet weekend reading by the fire, and hanging out with the family and I should be ready to hit the roads again, but I’m not. I basically took the last week off and that’s probably the cause of my lethargy. The only real solution, I know, is to go out and get a nice good run in. I’m out of excuses; the rains have stopped and my legs feel good, so I’ll be out and about town at lunch today.

Promise.

Looking forward - Anybody out there run the Big Sur Marathon AND stayed at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park (which is basically the start)? I’m curious about shuttles from the finish back to the start after the race. If I can confirm that these shuttles do indeed exist (the website says they do) I may be doing this little dandy at the end of April. Big Sur has been near the top of my “Must Do” list forever and with this being the 25th running, there is probably no better time.
