California Dreaming {Reality}

So I think I've bragged a lot to my family about how I live in the most amazing place ever.
So here's the proof in the pudding  :)
These gorgeous pictures were taken while running in our "backyard"and "front yard"... all of which are within walking and running distance from our little home.
And while we're talking about running, I'd like to announce that I am officially half way through my training.  Today I ran up Montara Mountain {again} which is about 2,000 feet high.  I ran 13 miles in 2 and 1/2 hours, which isn't too shabby considering I ran up a mountain! Now I have two more months of training.  And this week I'm kicking it off with 35 miles.
