A Monterey County Herald columnist is training for the Big Sur Marathon. Though he doesn't exactly love running yet, he likes what the training is doing to his life:

"This morning I looked down at my daughter. She has no clue as to what is happening with me. Maybe, when I'm gray and wrinkled, she will look back at me and say, I'm sure glad you are still around to see your grand-daughter grow up."
