I love LA

Weight: 198

Mood: Peaceful

I finally get to spend three straight days in Los Angeles (thank you Memorial Day!).  I spent a lot of the day trying to get the house in order, since we moved in weeks ago and haven't fully unpacked.  Finally, however, I decided that it was time to go for a run.  I am very, very glad that I did.

Sometimes among the hustle and bustle of life, it is easy to forget just what a beautiful place I live in.  I started out down the palm tree-lined boulevards towards the beach.  I ran toward the mini-boardwalk at Washington boulevard and turned down the beach path towards Venice beach.  It was twilight, and the beach view was simply spectacular.  I had to turn around and veer off of the beach earlier than planned because the winds were causing a mini-sandstorm.  The detour, however, led me into a mini nature reserve which was full of plant life and little birds.  The reserve had a trail that winds along Ballona creek and eventually landed me back near my neighborhood.  It was only a three mile run and it was glorious. 

I think I'll do it again tomorrow.
