16 Miles

I have never run this far in my life. And there were a few days last week that i didn't think I would make it but here I am, on the other side of 16. After such a tough week with my cranky foot, Saturday was actually pretty awesome. It was cloudy, which made for perfect running. It was a partly new trail, which made for good brain stimulation and Steph and I both felt pretty good. Coach Noah had us run in to Peter's Canyon and up a trail which was challenging but good practice for SF. The view from the top was awesome and so Steph and I stopped to take a few pics. Again we are practicing for SF because there WILL be pictures people.





We carefully made our way back down the trail, don't want to twist an ankle so deep into this training and headed back on our way. We chatted and took in the scenery and stopped at the aid stations to refuel and walked here and there when we needed a break. It was funny to me that at one point I was just bored with running. I think we had been going for about 2 hours and my brain was like "ok I am done with running today" I got all tickled by that. Now is definitely when the mental game begins. We ended up having a really good run and finished it it 2 hours and 36 minutes. At one point we were waiting for a light to change and my calves were getting pretty tight so I decided to stretch just a little.....what?





We got back to "base camp" to cheers and encouragement. What a great way to start a Saturday. We made sure to stretch and Steph was a clear example of our run today, sweat, mud from the trail and a big grin.



Well....I bet she was grinning on the inside. :)

Trapeze!!!!!

I finally used the gift certificate I got for Christmas from my little sis, Jill. She and I took Trapeze lessons when she came to visit me last year and she knows how much I love it. So last week I took another class and I am kicking myself for waiting so long. It is SO DARN FUN!!!! I have learned new tricks every time and they are getting so fancy and cool. Today I was so excited to try the set split. It just looks so circusy and trapezey! I know that neither one of those are words but that is the only way to describe it. I let me camera run and got a video that ,while it is crap lighting you can see my catch on my new trick LOVE IT!  Take a look.

Me and LD back in da day

My former assistant from Quiksilver was in town this week and she crashed at my place while she was here. It was fun to catch up and have girl time. As I was archive digging tonight I ran across this gem from one of our QS Waterman shoots. We always knew how to throw a little fun into an otherwise tedious project with our Mannies, Bryan and Chad. Oh the days.

Henri Bendel

I am in Love. It happened quite suddenly although I met him years ago. We rekindled our affair on Fashion's night out a few months back and now it's official, I am head over heels. :) His name is Henri and I love everything about him. I want to be a Bendel Girl for the rest of my life. All illustrations by Izak Zenou who does Incredibly beautiful work. Oh to be THAT talented....swoon.
