California Dreaming

Just when I thought I was for sure going to move out of Florida because I couldn't take the humidity any longer...SWEET RELIEF!!!

This morning the humidity was only around 78% (as opposed the the usual 89%) and you could REALLY tell the difference. It's so funny, how I actually thought it was cool out. Mind you it was still 80 degrees outside, but compared to Monday's run it was a breeze. Monday the weather was so hot, humid and still at 6:30am I vowed to quit running FOREVER unless I moved to the arctic tundra...or north Florida at least. I really had had enough. But thank goodness for today. It really restored my faith that one day, even if it still is a few months away still, the weather will cool down and running will not be so torturous.

The good news is that for the next whole week I wont have to worry about it because I'm off the CALIFORNIA!!!



Woo-hoo!!!! My long lost vacation has finally arrived!!! I know I just went to Denver but that was only for a weekend and not really a vacation, but more just hanging out with the kids. And while this week we are hanging out with J's family the first few days (all of whom I love and can't wait to see), we are managing a few nights on our own.

Tomorrow through Monday we will be in Riverside and then on Tuesday (my BIRTHDAY) we are driving to San Diego to spend a night in the Gaslamp District then the next two nights we'll be at the Hotel Del Coronado. I really am so excited to go on a real vacation, I can't control myself. It's been over a year and I am soooooo ready to be away from work and Miami.

Speaking of which, most of you know that I work as a graphic designer therefore I am CONSTANTLY on the computer. This makes it hard for me to post often since when I get home from spending all day stressed out on a computer, the last thing I want to do is sit in front of another one and write a blog. This is why I am such a slacker lately when it comes to posting and responding to posts. I love everyone's comments and feedback and please know I am reading everyone's blogs as well, its just usually in between jobs at work and when I have a few minutes at home. So if I don't respond right away, just know that I am thinking of you and reading yours as well. I love learning and laughing from everyone's running/life experiences. :)

All that being said, I am not TOUCHING a computer for the next 8 days, so I will catch up on everyone's running when I get back as well as updates on how awesome it was to run in the "arctic tundra" of San Diego!!!
