Had a dandy morning run with Kim around the citrus trees and Redlands temple. Beautiful sunny morning with near perfect running temps in the 50's.

Had a nice morning run - 5 miles with Kim then 2.5 more solo. We ran in the vicinity of the happiest place on earth.  I usually feel sluggish running during vacation/travel time but actually felt pretty peppy after the first 3 or 4 miles.  Gotta love that near-sea-level oxygenated air.

Squeezed in one more Disneyland run before the long drive home. Vacations are nice but home is best!

Since we got switched over to Pacific time zone sleep habits we decided not to rock the boat just yet even though we're home now and we went out an hour later than usual.

I wasn't a good eating boy on vacation so today we start the process of purging all the gunky out of the body and try and get rid of the vacation gut. Actually I felt pretty good today notwithstanding the extra 5 pounds.  Had only planned on going 10-12 but ended up tacking on an extra mile. Weather today was awesome - mid 40's - felt just dandy. Kim started off maybe a tad sluggish but was really cruising the last half of the run.
