Last Sunday of the Month Santa Monica Mtns run.
Hi all. It's 2011 and time to announce the dates for the LA EOM run aka Last Sunday of the Month Run.
For those unfamiliar, I take a drive the last Sunday of the month every month, weather permitting, as kind of an End Of Month (eom) ritual. Yeah, I'll sometimes drive other days too, but the standing run for me is always the last Sunday morning of the month in the Santa Monica Mountains. Stopping for food is often worked into the run somehow. It's always bring your own sunscreen, water and a full tank of gas, though.
For 2011 those days will be:
Jan 30
Feb 27
Mar 27
Apr 24 (note that this is Easter Sunday)
May 29 (Memorial Day weekend)
Jun 26
Jul 31
Aug 28
Sep 25
Oct 30
Nov 27
Dec 25 (well, maybe not; probably move that to Monday since work is closed Monday the 26th)
So put those on your calendar. PM me or post if you have questions. Updates for time and specifics will be added each month by the Friday before the run date. I reserve the right to go on vacations and skip a month, or to move the entire run to San Diego or Santa Ynez once in awhile if I feel like it on a particular month. :-)
Sometimes a bunch of people show up and sometimes no one else shows up. Doesn't matter. I'm out there for the drive either way.

This coming Sunday, Jan 30, I'm aiming for meeting at the Vons parking lot on PCH (at the corner of Sunset Blvd and Pacific Coast Highway -- 17380 W Sunset Blvd, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272) at 8am. YES, you read that right, 8AM. I have come to realize the value of an early start is priceless. It is safer, nicer, and just all 'round better because you have more day to work with. (yes, I ended with a preposition. TS.) Getting up that early on a Sunday is only painful for the first few minutes. It gets easier once you hit the shower.
Part of this month's run will include a stop for breakfast (brunch).

Do others go? I need to get my mind off of things and might join you on this.
Or you could sit at home watching tv or surfing the internet thinking about the stuff you have on your mind while a beautiful Sunday morning drive in one of the most scenic places in southern California happens without you. Heck, you can always leave and do your own thing (still in the most scenic of places) if it ends up not suiting your interest. :-D
