CLIF Builder's Bar Winners; Random Shots of Beauty

Keeping this very brief this evening so I can plunge right into a longer post on tap for tomorrow night. We’ll start with the winners of this week’s CLIF Builder’s Bar contest: TimS, Josh (Of All), and Joanne (Run for Endurance): e-mail me your contact info – you’re the winners!

Thanks very much to everyone else who entered, and special thanks as always to CLIF Bar for sponsoring the giveaway. I’ve got a few more contests on deck in the near future, so stay tuned for details – beginning with a pretty cool one on Tuesday night.

On to our Random Shot of Beauty:

We’ve had some unseasonably cold mornings here in Monterey County this week, which always makes it a bit harder to crawl out of bed in the dark to keep my mileage up. Fortunately, if I remind myself that views like this are waiting for me once the sun comes up, I usually find just enough courage to get started.
