Lovely rainy morning in Long Beach California. Decided I was definitely heading outdoors even if it just finished raining....but wait....just before mile four turnaround... DOWNPOUR again off the seashore. Oh yah!! poor new shoes are really getting a water workout!! Had three traffic lights to maneuver through along the Pacific Coast Highway then headed on to the shoreline trail and thru some nicer streets by the ocean. Got a LOT of looks as California was just waking up at 7:45am!! When I left at 7am the traffic was light and no shops were open. The way back parking lots were filling at local stores. Nice views of boats docked but BECAUSE of the huge SAND BARRIER (called TIDAL BREAK) I had no view of the ocean from where I was at. Just a pile of sand about 15 feet high. Felt so very good on my feet. First mile 8:13. Last mile felt so easy I was surprised it was a 7:28. AP 7:53 for 8 miles. Breakfast buffet makes me feel like when I got on board my Cruise off of Long Beach I am going to have to run 4 more mile. I was going to tone down my miles for vacation but the food is getting out of hand so I will have to run more to make up for it. We will be gone for four days. I don't know if the ship has internet access to write down my runs. We will be back on Friday and heading to Knott's Berry Farm then Magic Mountain on Saturday. Driving home next Sunday. : D. Sun is supposed to come out this afternoon and be about 70-80 degrees in Mexico. : D.

That sounds like so much fun. This is the perfect time of year to get away to where it's warm. I've told my husband that I could handle winter a lot better if I went somewhere warm in January to get a little break from it. It's all snow covered here now.

I hope your vacation is wonderful. I totally hear you about the food-running thing :)
