Building Cities

So I guess my Christmas cheat days are over and it's back to the pavement! I did manage to get 5 miles in on Christmas Day! The hubby let me splurge and get new running shoes that my feet desperately needed! I did 5 miles in them and wow what a huge difference shoes make. I talked with Dr. Google and I have Sesamoiditis which basically means YOU RUN A CRAP LOAD and your feet are yelling at you! So I went to the running store told them exactly what my problem was and these girls are awesome that work at these stores they know what shoe to put you in for your specific problems. They have you run on a treadmill and video tape your feet, then play it back in slow motion to see how your foot lands. Anyways, my foot isn't healed but the shoes help with the pain. The pain won't go away until I give them a break!

Other than my 5 mile Christmas day run I have been loading up on pounds of sugar and fudge and spending quality time with the family. My boys are obsessed with Lego's so I have been super gluing Lego cities together and playing with the kiddos. Last night my 3 year crawled up onto my lap and laid his head on my chest and let me rock him to sleep! This was a Christmas gift all on it's own because my 3 year old is so stubborn and independent, I think I can count on one hand how many times that has happened in his life! So these past few days have just been quality time with the family and soaking it all in!

Do you also notice the AWESOME 13.1 sweaty band that my mom got me for Christmas?! She seriously is THE best mom on this planet and I LOVE her SO much!!!!

Now that we are relocated to San Diego I lost my best friend and my running partner. So I searched for new running paths last night and found some amazing ones along the ocean and lakes! I will be testing one out today with my ferocious dog to protect me since I lost my partner : ( I will keep y'all updated on my first miles put in, in San Diego.........
