Pleasure is a Serious Business

So I titled this post as such because we visited the Getty Villa and there was an exhibit on the "Society of the Dilettanti" whose motto was "Pleasure is a Serious Business."

Believe me, I did NOT find our workout this morning pleasurable...we ran a shorter version of the Manhattan Beach Strand and then did Sand Dune Hill.

This is the view from the Top of the hill.

This is the view from the Bottom. I'm not quite sure which is more daunting. Potentially this one because you actually have to go back up the damn thing.
Needless to say, I wussed out after going up and down this thing twice. Clay tackled it 4 times. Supposedly, this place is packed most weekends with Boot Camp type classes and people just getting their exercise in...and the Raiders used to use this Hill too, running up at a s-p-r-i-n-t. F'ing crazy if you ask me.

Anyways, more on the Getty. If you get a chance to visit the Villa in Malibu, make a reservation. You pay $10 for parking but admission is free. Even if you aren't into Ancient Greek and Roman Antiquities, the buildings are amazing, with incredible detail situated in a phenomenal oceanside setting. While here I ran into two friends who I hadn't seen in years! Hi Rito and Kat!! So random.
