Training for AFC half Marathon

 We took our love for running to the beach! Ooh yeah, 9 miles of pure Beauty! 

Mt. Woodson hike to potato chip rock

A group of us set out to hike potato Chip Rock! It's about a 7-8 mile hike in poway. We started at the base in lake Poway. Hiked up hill really tiring and long uphill for about 2 hours. You then arrive at potato chip! I don't have a picture if me on the actual rock this time. I do have a picture. The line was really long! 

So Teresa and I took pictures on different rocks. 

My Boyfriend!

          

         

Last Halloween was the start of something very special. 

I had no idea that one date would turn into an amazing love. My friend that I had been chatting with on facebook became more than a friend. 

    Eric has in a short amount of time changed my life. I feel like it is possible for me to live Happily Ever After. 

He is very sweet caring and loving toward  me. I for the first time feel like someone accepts me for who I am. I in no way shape or form feel like pretending to be someone else when I'm around him. 

Just feeling so in love... Thank you baby! I love you!

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:-)
