I couldn’t run the Spartan Beast I was set to run in Temecula, CA, due to an emergency root canal I had to have the day I was supposed to leave for CA. But, I still went and tried to see if I could at least run the 4-miler, which ended up being cancelled due to people having serious heat issues on the course during the Beast. So, despite still feeling crappy due to some antibiotics that induced a fever in me (no, not an infection, the antibiotics themselves), I took myself down to San Diego and explored around and actually had an amazing time. It was the most fun trip I’ve ever been on alone and I can’t wait to go back!
