On the agenda for the week....Tuesday 30 minute run (it was supposed to be 35 but I didn't look at my calendar). Wednesday technically still an off day for one more week. Thursday 30 minute run. So Tuesday at 6 am I was off and running and this time not on the treadmill. After Saturday's run was a little tougher than I expected I decided more of my running needed to be outside. So I hit Back Bay with a text to my trainer that if I wasn't at the gym at 7 to come find me. It was a perfect morning for a run as there was cloud cover so it was still cool. There were lots of people out running, biking, walking their pooches so once I got started I didn't feel so apprehensive of being left for dead if I turned an ankle. I know I know I can be a little dramatic at times, and apparently a little paranoid. :) As much as I love cloud cover I must say I can't wait for the June glooom to cease and desist because watching the sun come up over Back Bay on an early morning run is quite spectacular. Can't wait. So I did my 30 minutes and thankfully felt pretty good with a pretty nice pace of 9:24. Today I think I am going to head over to the extra curricular track workout in Irvine that one of the mentors puts on. Next week we start adding a Wednesday run so this might be a good way to prevent boredom of just slogging away the miles each day. I might call my friend Heidi and see if she is up for a run at my house in the morning, which will give us a chance to catch up on each others lives. If not, Back Bay it is. Just waiting for that sunrise.
This was the most surreal hour and a half of the whole trip. We made our way out to Howard Air Force Base (which is no longer an AFB) and found our old house. Just looking at the photos I get emotional all over again. Not that I broke down crying or anything but it was really weird standing in a place that holds so many memories. Here is me freaking out that we found it!!! Our old Street! Coffey Avenue! Exploring the old digs! This stairwell led up to the door in the kitchen. It was a little creepy so I just filmed from where I was. :-/ I don't do creepy. Here we are in front of 60A Coffey Ave! That "hill" behind my mom seemed so much bigger when we lived there. I remember my dog running down it and tripping, which led to a head over heels tumble that still makes me laugh when I think of it. And that fence used to be a favorite spot for three toed sloths to hang out. ...
