AFC half Marathon Winner!

Winner winner over Here!!! I did the Black Girls Run Scavenger Hunt! And I won a compted entry to Americas Finest City Half Marathon! Saved me $100.00 Bucks! And not could I use the break! AFC is one of my favorite races in San Diego! Can't wait to run this scenic fun race again!!

LA Marathon

The best part of race week was spending 4 days with my boyfriend. He had a surprise work trip to LA. So we took full advantage of our week together. We spent the week at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. We had lunch and sat on the patio and had beers. A great weekend of us just being together.

We went to Lights on LA, which was an event that took place all over La. Asics celebrated the 30th year of the LA Marathon by lightin up all 26 mile markers of the race. Kinda crazy to see how far 26.2 miles really is. We went up to the Griffith Obsovtory, and boy the views did not disappoint! Georgeous views of Los Angeles!

After seeing Los Angeles at night we spent the day in Venice Beach! Home of muscle beach and all things crazy! Lunch beers, and of course the beautiful ocean!

So I had a goal the beginning of the year to run in my sports bra! Why because my tummy and I have in the past have a love hate relationship. So it was a goal. And luckily I felt good enough to do it!!

Even though I did not run in my sports bra I did feel good about my body.

When Eric left on Saturday I headed off to the Marathon Expo! Oh boy full of runners goodies!!

Every time I go to any expo I really feel proud, just for signing up and being apart of such a huge event!

Took me forever to find my name!!!

Hello Heat! Running this LA Marathon was really hard for me. I was officially hot as Hell it was 87degrees. May not seem that bad, but my body did not feel the same way. Mile 10 was rough to complete with out feeling over heated. So I decide to walk. And I ended up walking the rest of the race. I'm not one to mess with my body or to push myself when it comes to heat.

Third Marathon Completed!!! What's Next?!?!?!?!

LA Marathon

This weekend is the LA marathon! I will be running 26.2 miles down the historic streets of Los Angeles! I'm excited this will be my 3rd Marathon. First in my own state.

The LA Marathon holds special meaning to me, being a little girl we use to go to LA every year around this time for my great aunts birthday. She lived to be 104 years old. And as a little girl I remember seeing all the runners. Actually we were detoured because of te street closures.

At the age of 38 returning as an athlete is pretty awesome! I'm super proud to be a runner. I've trained for about 6 months for this race.

I'm ready to hit the streets and see this city on Foot:-)

Hiking Hollywood!

Hollywood trail

We took our hiking adventure out of San Diego and hit up LA! Hollywood Baby! We woke up early to drive 2 1/2 hours to hike this historical Landmark.

This is the only sign, once you get up into the trails your on your own. Thank goodness for strangers helping us.

Horray for Hollywood!

Oh yeah, It's on private property so you can only get so far up to the actual sign.

Along the way you see panoramic views of LA.

My Baby came to Visit Me!!

Gosh I Love Him!!

Playing in the snow in Denver

Denver is a beautiful City! The people are so genially nice. And the Beauty of the mountains is really amazing. I could never get use to such a pretty view. Winter, and even the summer it's just amazing.

got a chance to spend 5 nights. I did nothing but enjoy the views, sleep and eat. Oh and watch an ungodly amount of Tv. I'm not a tv watcher, so watching 8 hours of tv a day was crazy to me and my brain crazy. I did enjoy the outside but it was very cold.
