Here is the promised pictorial evidence that last Saturday's Low Tide Run was well worth whatever pain it inflicted.
Before hitting our stride, we each had to cross a rocky path made more treacherous by the crumbling cliffs and all the sandy soles that had gone immediately before us. Yes, people fell. Thankfully, I wasn't among them. 
The view from atop the Torrey Pines hill. Worth the torture to get to this point, if you ask me.
Coming down to the final stretch, there's a suspension bridge at the Scripps Institute for Oceanography. You gotta admit, it's tres cool.
Home base is not much beyond this point. Note the ball of sun trying desperately to gain a glowing edge on the clouds.

just beautiful! must make 17 miles just... errr...fly by.
*sigh* i miss san diego.
Totally, totally worth it! Wish I could run that one.
Great pics! I can't believe how many people showed up to run on the beach like that!
Great pics, runing through the rocks, that's pretty wild.
But that shore run looked so very nice.
Great Pictures. Running on wet sand just takes everything out of me. I don't think I'd make it up the hill after that. Loved the sun raising in the fog picture. I took a similar picture over the week, but it was the sun setting through a dust storm. I think I prefer your picture.
Now THAT's a training run! Wow! Tough but the scenery makes it worth the effort! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely lovely.
That looks totally worth it. Beautiful.
Case closed. Get over it, legs.
Looks awesome! Except the sidewalk part :)
That looks like a unique race.
Gorgeous! But that rocky patch.... cripes, both my ankles would be broken. Congratulations on surviving!

That was beautiful, Anne. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to get out to Cali again for a run.
Looks like a beautiful and unique route! San Diego is a place I'd like to go some day...
