Running On Sunshine

California· Travel

FacebookTweetPin
23 Dec

Greetings from California!!! I was running on sunshine this morning and couldn’t be happier 🙂 IMG_3411

My heart is aching with happiness right now. I started the day with an 11 mile run on the Long Beach bike path. This is my favorite running route ever! I used to drive out here every weekend to do run here and finally moved to the LBC for a year after college. Good times! IMG_3417

When I got back I ate a bowl of cereal, showered and then made oatmeal. My mom has seven different kinds of cereal so I couldn’t resist starting with that, but I think oatmeal will fill me up best. IMG_3421

My perros are very happy to see me and I’m very happy too 🙂IMG_3424

I told Ben he had to wear a santa hat to get in the holiday spirit 🙂 IMG_3430The plans for today include:

– Walking the dogs

– Store for cookie baking supplies

– Wrapping presents

– Eating organic avocados straight from our backyard tree…IMG_3428Food in the News –

We eat more on weekends and holidays. Choose your splurge foods wisely and enjoy 🙂

Whole Foods is turning their focus back on health foods.

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      Yay for being back in California!

      I wish my parents lived closer to good running places. I went to a neighborhood a few days go but not the same as running along the beach… if only Santa Monica weren’t a 45 minute drive… oh well!
      Enjoy!

      The pups are SO cute! It doesn’t look like the hat is working for Ben 🙁 I know how he feels though. It’s been hard for me to get in the Christmas mood.

      I’ve ran in long beach before! (I’m from MD). I loved how flat it is. Enjoy your holiday

      I am sorry I missed the run this morning. It looks beautiful on on the beach. I think I am going to have to run down to the water this afternoon. Have a great trip and if you are planning on running Saturday, let me know.

      Avocados straight from the tree? Amazing. It’s nice to see you so happy. Cali is clearly where your heart is.
