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.

Ran through Newport beach today with Renae. When Jon and I retire I am so doing it in Newport Beach. So Beautiful!!!!!!!!

I ate a fruit snack and a box of raisins during the run. It seemed to be plenty for that distance. I need to get a hydration belt. It won't be as easy to "plant" water the nights before. Although there are water fountains along the beach so that helps.

This is the furtherst I have run since SGM. I felt really good. Pace 9:03. The pace was very comfortable.

I still need to sign up for LA marathon.

We ran past a guy preaching on the beach and he said "bless these runners". So funny!

Britta! Good job! I was just getting ready to head out on a run and I thought I'd check out your schedule! It's snowing, so probably not 14 today or anytime soon for that matter!

Love ya!

Cool run! Great blessing :) I love it. I just get flipped off ;)

Great job! Hey, and I totally agree, "Bless these runners!!" Maybe if we all had someone blessing us on our runs we would be super fast!

I am so glad you are running and enjoying it! I still REALLY miss seeing you at 5:30 am at Kneaders, but I will get over it.

What a neat place to run. You ought to do one or two runs a week where you hit the sand. Bet that would be a tough workout!

Weight please :) (you didn't post today and you told us to hold you accountable) That's cool that you are tracking in public. It helps me. Did you notice I got two 130's this week. Ah, man, when you're used to lower its tough to spike up, but I always do when I move. Regarding the preacher: we've got to take all the blessings we can get, right. Regarding the fuel belt, I don't think its worth it. If you have water fountains that should be sufficient, then you can carry some gus in a pocket. I actually don't drink gatorade that often. I prefer water and a gu.

MichelleL, Thanks for holding me accountable. I didn't weigh yesterday because I always weigh so much less after a longer run. So today is 132.2. So again I am down. Yeah for me!!! I made it through Fri. and Sat. night without eating poorly. Yeah for me again!

Thanks for you thoughts on the water belt. I hate even having a shirt tied around my waist so I should really think harder about having something that bulky around me.

So sorry about the spike up in weight. You are right it is hard when you are use to lower. I am sure you still look the same to everyone else, you are probably the only one that even notices a difference.
