7am - about to get started
Running over the 405 overpass right near my place heading west
~mile 2 - running through the Santa Monica Airport
~mile 3 - dirt path next to a local golf course
The famous Main St, running north and south about a block and a half away from the beach
At approximately mile 4.5, we once again hit the relatively empty Venice Boardwalk
The Santa Monica Pier
The sign for the pier itself
~mile 6.25 - the runner's mecca knows as Palisades Park
~mile 10 - the very affluent neighborhood of Brentwood
Southbound on Barrington Ave, about a mile away from home
Covered 17.05 miles for the day. Kind of bonked from miles 14 and on but was happy that I was mentally able to push myself through it and finish. Have a good day folks.

I always enjoy your pictures! Great job on the run. Who takes the ones of you?
@ D10 - thanks! And to answer your question, I leave you with two words coined by my buddy Emil: Peter. Parker.
Dude, 17 miles following a 50k is unreal. You must feel great about that turnaround. How is your ankle holding up?
I like the 2nd picture the best.
COOL! I go to a big AA Meeting near Barrington on Wednesdays when I'm down there...a big synagogue. Biggest meeting in the world right in your back yard.
LOVE your pics as always. amazing job - 17 miles the weekend after your first ultra?!?! WOW, dont know what else to say :)
Great job, you're making Pfitz proud!
OK what time did you get out there?! Where is everyone?! Don't tell me they're all sleeping! LOL
Some great sights along the way. Nice job getting in the long run.
nice job on cranking out 17 miles! and it looked like a gorgeous day for a run! love the pics :)
Great job!! Your pictures make me miss LA so much! :)
Speaking of which, I'm there this weekend and need to get 15 in. My fam is in the SFValley and I hate running there. Can I get in 15 along the beach? Can I start in Santa Monica or should I start further north? HELP! (I didn't get into running until I'd already moved to the Bay Area, can you tell?)
Great job Billy! Love the photos.
Hooray! What a great long run! I need to get out there more and run it looks so fun, thanks for all the pictures. I guess now that I have a garmin I actually have to run real distances. :)
another great run friend. love the pics, still jealous that you live and run in such picturesque areas. i suppose i'll let it slide that you wear ear warmers when it's in the 40's :)
I have officially decided I need to move =).
Nice work on the LOOOOONG run...you're not even running SD and you're mileage is wayyyyy higher than mine.
