Greetings from California!!! I was running on sunshine this morning and couldn’t be happier π 
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! 
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. 
My perros are very happy to see me and I’m very happy too π
I told Ben he had to wear a santa hat to get in the holiday spirit π 
The plans for today include:
– Walking the dogs
– Store for cookie baking supplies
– Wrapping presents
– Eating organic avocados straight from our backyard tree…
Food in the News –
We eat more on weekends and holidays. Choose your splurge foods wisely and enjoy π
You must be so happy to be running in sunshine after all that snow. =D

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!
Hooray for being home!!!
I’m in San Diego and I’ve been enjoying running outside too. Glad you are having a good time! Those avocados look delish!
yay for CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!! too bad we’re having santa anas…guess it’s better than the snow you had though!
The puppies look ADORABLE!
Happy Hump Day,
Katie

Yay! I am so happy for you and being back in CA!! Enjoy! π
woot for the run! such cute perros π
The pups are SO cute! It doesn’t look like the hat is working for Ben π 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
Great way to kick off your vacation! Enjoy your family time.
On a side note, you sound so happy in this post. I’m glad your spirits are lifted π
I am so jealous of your running weather! I had to jump snow banks on my run Monday! Enjoy your sunshine!
Good job on the run! Have a great time with your fam!
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.
