Running on the Western Edge

The other day I made mention of my spiritual run along the strand in Manhatten Beach. A friend asked what does the place look like. So today, I'm adding a few photos I took this morning during my run. Enjoy.

On January 21, 1997 while skiing, I blew my left knee out and was told by the doctor that my marathon running was over. But he was a great doc and did an incredible job on my knee...also I know that God had a major role in my overcoming the injury.
