after the run
after the run, most of the bridge gang grabbed a gourmet breakfast to refuel. that poor little diner didn’t know what hit it when we walked in. i think we took about half their tables.

after breakfast, we all parted ways to go home and get changed and grab our respective beach toys. we then met up at the state beach just down the way from our building. not long after we got there, this military pilot decided to be a hot-shot and fly his chinook between two condos. sadly, i couldn’t read the “how’s my driving call 1-800-…” sticker from where we were to report his idiocy.

between the kayaks and the surfboards (and the beach towels!) there was plenty for everyone to do.

it really was a great day. we had a great run, a yummy breakfast, and an awesome time playing on the beach. after a few hours, we all parted ways. hubby and i came home to clean up and relax for a few hours and then we went back out to meet up with mello, nightingale, train, and panda for the billfish invitational. i didn’t really get the event but i had a good time being social. even if my leg was already killing me from the run. we even heard that emeril lagasse participated in the tournament. it would have been kinda cool to see his weigh-in. i’ll bet he was all *BAM* when they announced his haul.
