We really enjoyed our vacation. Probably a little too much where food was involved! We spent most of Friday at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Les and I both love riding rides - we're like two kids on roller coasters.
When we made our first pass on the Boardwalk Monday night we spotted the Deep Fried Twinkies booth. Les said we had to try them. We finally did yesterday afternoon. I thought they tasted better than the original plain Twinkie. I don't really care for the sponge cake, but frying them was another story!
My planned run for yesterday morning was 10 miles. I needed it! It was foggy the entire time I ran. The first half was a little slower because I made several photo stops along the way, but it was worth it.
I ran to the end of the SC wharf. Just as I got there I heard barking. Sea lions were starting to wake up. There are stairs that go below the wharf, and the sea lions are protected by a fence. It was cool seeing them up close.
I continued on my way and discovered a great trail. The views were spectacular! Dramatic cliffs, waves, and a lighthouse which houses a surfing museum.
Total distance - 10 miles in 1:39:30. 9:57 pace. Planned pace for this run was 10:04 to 11:04.

So was I a success in burning off that Twinkie? According to multiple websites, a deep fried Twinkie is 425 calories. I could have had two!!
