I agree. Pine trees on a sunny day.
ran bay to breakers for the first time this year without running the course first. was hurting badly in GG park thinking when the hell this thing was gonna end.
the sudden smell of the ocean & the cool ocean breeze that hit me about a mile from the finish was unreal.....

I work crazy hours as an editor, and as a result sometimes I'm running at 2 or 3 in the morning. That's about the time doughnut shops start making the days batch. If you want to test your discipline, I dare you to not stop and get a fresh glazed doughnut after a 20-miler.
Skunk (not the weed), weeds (not bushes), tar, ozone before a big electrical storm, burning leaves, then dew, flowers, alkaline (in the desert), cedar, pine, the ocean, snow (fresh, and late spring--it has a smell that's hard to describe), fresh cut grass, laundromats (used to do a long run from Boston College down Commonwealth back in the day and we passed a lot of laundromats, weird, but true). Most of these smells are from my high school and college days. Since I've been in Los Angeles, there haven't been too many new smells, except wet dust when running in the clouds after a long dry spell.
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Bacon
Pig fat rules!!!
I was just talking about this the other day on a run....
1. Breakfast cooking
2. People doing laundry or the smell of dryer sheets
3. Wild honeysuckle
Rotting dog carcasses.
Today I smelled laundry detergent mixed with old cigarette smoke. It reminded me of my uncle's basement, so I ran around the block to smell it again.
This is one of the gayest threads I have ever seen.
With that being said, I like the smell of dryer vents.
Youths' sweet, sweet urine.
The smell of a woodburning stove during the fall & winter.
Good one!
Pine, oak, redwoods, eucalyptus (summer), pinon, chaparral.
Honeysuckle, roses, lavendar, lilac (spring-summer).
Thunderstorms.
Meadows.

There's a doughnut shop on one of our routes through town. It always smells like the raspberry filling in doughnuts, which I am luckily immune to. but if it smelled like Boston or vanilla creme...I'd have to be running much more.
