Lavendar graces the backyard of Jibitesh's house. He was up early to go to the bakery to get fresh bagels and cream cheese.

At 62, Arpan has been having a challenging run this year, but he insists he is up for the challenge.

This beautiful house and host committee is both a staple as well as an anticipated destination each time the Run comes to the West Coast. You can tell by he happy and rested faces that we enjoyed it yet again, and eagerly look forward to our return next Run.

Zebras are the result of William Randolph Hearst's desire to have them near his castle. Sadly we didn't make it to the castle this year, but we saw some amazing pictures.

No, these seals aren't dead. But they seemed to be doing a good impression, aside from throwing sand over themselves.

Many cyclists enjoy riding the Big Sur coastline, and as runners we could appreciate the challenge of some of the hills.

We couldn't help but appreciate the lads on a training run, seemingly enjoying a respite as they wait for the walk signal. The belts were an accessory that both puzzled us and somehow made us envious. Utility belts?

To say we are grateful to both Anthony and Lisa at Julia's Vegetarian Restaurant is an understatement. We were so moved by their kind offer to provide dinner for the entire team, and their hospitality was so warm and inspiring. It is so good to know that such kind-hearted people are out there in the world!

Josh and Danielle, two diners, also joined us for a group photo. Both were also kind-hearted in their support of the Run and we were so glad to have met them.
