First of many San Diego Run's

SOOOOOO I'm back from my run today! 5 miles was on my training schedule. After searching many safe running path's near me I choose the reservoir. This lake has a 5 mile path that runs along the shore line of the lake and let me tell you it was AWESOME!!!!! They have mile markers every quarter mile and my kids played at the park (with the husband of course) that overlooked the whole lake while I ran! There is also a section that over looks the area we moved to and it's just a really nice 5 mile path!


I really enjoyed running with so many active people! There were SO many people out today riding their bikes, walking with their families, running, and walking their dogs! I loved seeing so many different ages, shapes, and sizes out on on the path! It's also fun to people watch while out running. I love people watching! I saw a couple that I'm sure was in their first stages of dating, they stopped at one of the lookout points to hug and kiss, and look into each others eyes! Please! I know after being with my husband for 9 years if we are alone without the kids we are definitely not walking and stopping at lookout points to make out! We have to use our childless hours with more quality than that!

I saw a mother who looked like she was ready to go into labor any day now (she was so cute in her workout clothes)! I gave a air fist pump to her because I only wish I was that smart to be that active while I was pregnant! I found out I was pregnant with my second one and put on maternity pants at 7 weeks and sat on the couch for 9 months! DON'T DO THAT LADIES!


I saw a very old man who had to be in his 80's out there jogging and I give mad props to him! (I didn't give him a fist pump because he probably would have thought I was a weirdo! I'm new the whole active community thing) I sure hope I'm out there on the jogging path in my 80's! That is literally my long term goal!!!


I saw two "hot" girls starting out their run about 20 minutes before I made it onto the trail. By the time I caught up to them in their skin tight booty shorts they were walking of course, but man did the fat girl in me feel so good to run past them, leaving them in the dust!!!!

I saw two girls walking together that looked like me 2 years ago and I gave two big air fist pumps to them as I smiled and ran past them. They may look like that today but in a few months from now they will be melting away and 2 years from now they will be running past the girls in the booty shorts!

 
As I was finishing my last mile I saw a couple starting out their run. Well the girl was running the boyfriend took off on his bike, and it just made me feel good because that is what my lifestyle has become! I am one of those active people that live an active lifestyle that I always looked at and envied! and whoa what an amazing life it is, the inner fat girl in me is never comin' back out! physically anyways! Because she's still coming out for chocolate and cupcakes!!!!

  3. Love your blog! Giving me inspiration. Some days I find it hard to run 3 miles and I try to get inspiration from anywhere and everywhere!
    Those shorts crack me up. Reminds me of high school and the girls volleyball players. Always wondered how they made them stay. ;)
