Personal:

I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

I found a really great route last week that I did again today. It is 2 miles from my house to this great hill. It is behind some apartments and I run up to the peak and back down the other side for a cool down. Then I reverse it and do the same thing again. It is the perfect distance. So mixed in the middle of my 5 miles today I ran 4 hill repeats. The hill repeats equal to be 1 mile and then I turn around and run the 2 miles back home.

I have to say I am not having the easiest transition here. I do love the area but I really don't like our rental. It is old and I feel like it is dirty. Because it is a rental my husband keeps telling me to stop spending so much time to make it look the way I want it. He is right, because we really are not going to be here long. It is really hard to look around me while I am inside and enjoy California. When I am outside I love where I live!!!!!

I took my kids down to the beach for a walk. My two year old was so cute when I took his picture he kept saying cheese and grining so big. On the way home I got pooped on by a bird. Thankfully it was just on my hand.

Miss you all!!! If it makes you feel any better it has actually been a little chilly here since we got here. It has been averaging like 55. Which is actually pretty cold here. It is funny to see the locals walking around in scarfs, hats and gloves.

I love walking on the beach! Lucky you! I wonder if I would like running on the beach.

Keep your head up, it will take a little time to make your new area home, but then you will love it there and it will be home!

Keep that running going!

Glad you found somewhere nice to run.

It won't be long before you too will be thin skinned and wearing winter clothes when it is warm out. :-)
