Rick and I went to the Mid State Fair in Paso Robles this weekend with a co-worker of his from India, Awi. We went around noon which was great to avoid the crowds but bloody hot - it was 100 degrees! While there we saw the world’s largest pig weigh in at 1000 pounds and checked out all the livestock from the 4H kids. We drank cold beer, ate some giant turkey legs and checked out some rodeo competitions.
On Sunday, I ran (only) 10 miles to keep up with marathon training. (View my route.) It was nice to do a long run in the cool beach air in Los Osos for a change. The knee is still doing well - I just need to figure out the plantar fascia pain that bothers me for a few days after these long runs.
In older news, my first foray back to college has gone well! I took a summer drawing class to get back into the swing of things and scored an A. Here are some pictures of our final setup and exhibition. Click the photos to visit the set on Flickr and you can hover over some of the photos to see which are mine.
And in random news, Rick and I found a heinous black widow outside his apartment. At first, I thought it was a garden spider because of its sheer size!
