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.

    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 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.
