Yesterday morning I decided to skip yoga for a run on the beach.  The weather was amazing even though it was about 7 o’clock in the morning and January.  What a treat!  I ran along the bike path towards Temescal and even got some encouragement from a fellow early morning reveler bike riding…”lookin’ good”.  Well that works for me.  On the way back I decided to run on the soft sand to see the itty bitty waves crashing along the shore.  As I approached where I would usually go back up the hill I decided to sit and do a little yoga on the beach.  I received the best present ever.  About 100 feet, maybe closer, from shore there was a whale popping his head out and playing around in the water.  At first I thought maybe it was something else but the whale decided he or she was going to give me a few more peeks.  No one else was around and I started hooting and clapping, laughing.  Was I really the only one that was seeing this??? Unbelievable.  I spoke to a guy stand up paddling this morning and he said the whales come in close sometimes to scratch their backs on the bottom of the ocean.  Are you kidding me?

Lucky me…I guess it’s ok that I missed yoga.
