CA Peep Time

I finally got some time with one of my friends from California. My friend Matt brought his daughter out to the big city. We had a chance to catch up yesterday and hang in Central Park where I got to meet a friend of his that lives here, Derek. Always good to have new friends in a city this size. I wandered the park in search of them and took some shots while walking. And let me tell you Central Park is Humongous!!





I finally found them at the Boathouse where Matt and his daughter were rowing around the lake so I met up with Derek and we sat on the patio and waited for them to get back. The weather was perfect and once they returned we lounged and chatted and people watched for at least another hour.






From there we bid adieu to Derek until later and we strolled through the park before going back to Matt's hotel so Halia could have a snack. He found a great little place in the Upper West Side. After seeing it I would definitely recommend it to out of town guests. He got an upgrade and had a ridiculous balcony with amazing views.







We left there and met up with Derek at Patsy's for some original New York Pizza and let me tell you it was Delish. Mom would be proud. And as if Pizza wasn't enough, we headed down to Little Italy to Ferrara's for Cannoli's. Yummmmy.





It was a good day.

Panama Day 5-Howard

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.  ...

Coat Week-Day 7

Well I missed a few days even though I had these in the can. Ooops. Here is Day 7 of Coat Week and I saved the best for last. I think this is by far my most favorite coat. I love the color, I love the shape and details. I got it here in New York a few years ago from Banana. It was on sale and I have never regretted spending that money. I wear it all the time. It hasn't aged at all and neither has my love for it. What do you think? Coat-Banana Republic, Top-F21, Sweater-UO,Jeans-Uniglo, Boots-Wild Diva

Last long run

Well today was the last long run until the big marathon next week in San Francisco. Half the team is running the Long Beach Race tomorrow and my running partner is in Seattle so I decided to sleep in this morning and skip the final team run. I am kinda tired of running in Irvine and I really wanted to sleep in a little today so I made plans to run Back Bay in Newport instead. It was nice to get a good night's sleep and wake up without the alarm when it wasn't pitch dark outside. I called my friends Holly and John and they offered to ride bikes with me while I ran, and I am not one to turn down company, so I headed to their place and we took off. John was even pulling Chloe in the bike buggy. I don't know how he got up some of those hills pulling that thing. Give me running shoes any day. It was nice and overcast and the run was pretty uneventful. We all just chatted and kept it going forward. We turned around at 4 miles which just "happened" to be at the bottom of...
