You guys, I’m obsessed with Reformation right now. They have a way of draping perfectly for a woman’s curves. The dress I wore for this shoot is my absolute favorite and I’ll be wearing it for years. I love that this piece stands out on it’s own and doesn’t need much accessorizing. You can find a similar style here.
Yet again, this was a tough run. It was made especially hard since I’m coming off a 4-week (flippin’…FOUR WEEKS) cold that turned into bronchitis…the last month has been exhausting from that alone. Whatever, I’m just glad to wake up and not cough up a lung. So, following my doctor’s orders to not move from my bed, I took a two week break before our early morning 18-mile run. I was a little nervous that my legs would stop working, and they almost did, but I finished. And I kept running a quote from famed runner Dean Karnazes through my head:
“Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up.”
Excellent advice from an inspiring athlete.
Whew! Sixteen miles. So that’s done. This was the training run that really made everything click—that this marathon is happening and running it is really hard. Twelve miles was hard. Fourteen miles was hard. But this week, 16 miles was painful. Especially once we hit the last three miles, when I felt like I was crawling through an ocean of molasses just trying to get back to the parking lot. Weirdly, this has made me even more excited for our 18 mile run coming up in two weeks.
The best thing we did was switch up the scenery and run at the beach. We started just south of the Santa Monica Pier and ran four miles north, just a little past Temescal Canyon Road. It was a beautiful day at the beach. We are so lucky to live here!
I grabbed a coffee and had a fun, overdue chat with a friend at the beach, and it was such a beautiful day—I just had to share it with all of you. The sky was an amazing, perfect kind of deep blue. The perks of living in L.A.!
