I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July!! I know I did in my extremely short trip down to San Diego. It has been a while since I have had the time to write on here but I have been keeping up with my daily runs and did around 25 last week for total mileage. These last couple weekends have been full of spending a lot of time inside my car! Last weekend I drove up to Chico Thursday morning and had to drive back Friday night to work in Modesto Saturday then I had to go back up to Chico Sunday to work up in Chico Monday and had to come back Monday night to be back at work in Modesto Tuesday morning. It was well worth the trips up to Chico tho! I was able to get a great 6 mile morning run in at Bidwell Park with my friend Jen and her doggy. The weather was perfect and it was great to be back in the park running again!
So this past weekend, I made a last minute decision to drive down to San Diego for the 4th. I was at home on Saturday night baking some zucchini muffins and I was talking to one of my friends from down there and made the decision to get up the next morning and drive down there at 4 in the morning. So I went out for my run that night, around 10, and while I was running made the official decision to make the trip down even though I had to be back home Monday night to go take the GRE this morning! So Sunday morning I woke up at 3:30 and was on the road by 4:15. I made it to Long Beach in 5 hrs and had to wait to eat lunch at my favorite restaurant of all time, La Creperie, so I took an hr long nap waiting until it was time for lunch. That night I only went a mile because I was having a great time hanging out with my friends and really wasn't wanting to go out for that run at all..but I got it in!! Then yesterday morning I woke up around 8 and went outside and did a nice 4.5 mile run. I started out on Mission Bay then as soon as I got to an area where I could cross over to run on the beach by the ocean I made the move and it was fantastic being back running along the beach on the sand. I forget how beautiful and peaceful running along the ocean really can be. Then I got to spend the rest of the day just hanging out with friends and friends of friends at a park BBQing and having a great time. I am definitely glad I decided to make the short trip down, but I do wish it didn't have to end so quickly!
