Favorite run of the year

Saturday set the mark for my favorite run of 2008 so far. A 3-4 miler along Salt Creek Beach with my Dad. We glided down the big hill right when the sun was brilliantly blazing a red sunset, big and round over the horizon. We ran down to the beach front, right along the waters edge where the sand is hard and firm and easy on the knees. Did about 2 miles along the sand. Perfect temperature, nice breeze, good company. Not just my Dad, but a small pod of 5 dolphins that swam along at the same speed we were running. It may sound cliche, but it was magical, everything coming together, running, being home, feeling good, the breeze and 5 dolphins frolicking along side of us for a good 15 minutes made it surreal and incredible. One of the younger dolphins caught a few ways, two of them jumped out of the water, they were just playing while we ran along. One of those moments you won't forget for a very long time!
