Update

Since it has been a while, I want to write an update on my running this past week. What a thrill! Jogging while traveling allowed me to see the places I was visiting in a completely different context. While in Vegas, I ran the strip early in the morning, twice, and watched the sun come up over the desert mountains and reflect off the Vegas high-rises.

A few days laster, I was in Beverly Hills with my friends PJ and Emily. I ran through 90210, fantasizing about life if the zip code that so influenced my childhood. Beverly Hills' reputation is so much larger than the actual neighborhood!

Then I was in San Francisco, where I ran in fresh morning rain through the Redwoods in Sonoma County. Magical, beautiful landscape. I was drenched by the time I got to the cafe to check my email. I met a lovely man named Steward, who had lived many years in Paris.

I'm back now and have been running with Rachel in the mornings. It is so much fun to run with her and chat about things. The time flies by. The first morning, we did 35 minutes. 30 min this morning.
