running 6mi at 8am in 58 minutes

yeah... thats right! Saturday Morning, Julian, Mia and I planned a run-- we set out a bit later than 8 so maybe I should revise my title to 8:30 am...whatever Mia and I missed each other due to a rogue cell phone left on my night stand. Julian and I started our run over at Balboa park and it felt great, while freezing initially, we eventually warmed up. I did one and a half loops all around balboa, down presidents way up through the middle of the museums and over the bridge out to 6th avenue. We ended up on Robinson and did another half loop so we ended by my car.... 6 miles later I was a dead and tired Normita.. Julian is training for the full marathon so he ran 5 additional miles...crazy!!! Although it is mortally painful for me to wake up early, If it doesn't involve work, I usually do it-hah. During the middleof the run I didn't feel that great and all I kept thinking was only how many miles were left to go...but really you can't be in a bad mood, running in the early morning, past other morning frolickers. Good clean fresh air feels great to the lungs. After we were all done, I touched base with Mia and we ended our morning run with a delicious scrumptions breakfast at El Comal, Leah and My restaurant, that we maybe sort of now own because of all the business we have put into it in the form of family, and friends that we take there on a pretty frequent basis!

whoo hoo for running! unfortunately since Sunday I am fighting some sort of cold and I haven't ran since Saturday...no! I will have to make it out to the gym for at least a light work out- yikes...
