This was the first Saturday in 4 months that I didn’t have a Saturday long run obligation.  Guess what I did?  Woke up and got out to run at the crack of dawn.

Then we headed to the Girls On The Run 5k to volunteer at the Fleet Feet water stop…so much fun!

It was a gorgeous day so we took our bikes out for a spin through the park.  Pink beach cruiser with a basket…safe to say I’m not on my way to being a triathlete!

My kick-arse massage therapist, Robin Frazier, celebrated the 5 year anniversary of Franklin Massage with a fundraiser for Steps of Faith.  It was a huge success and fun party!

I’ve been working with Amy Dutton at Ah Ha Creative to redesign my blog (woo hoo!).  She sent me a congratulatory Boston mug.  How cool is that?!!

AND…Jason had a work trip to LA planned for the week.  I made a last minute decision to tag along for a little west coast R&R.

Airplane survival kit: Starbucks, fruit, and a travel mag

@natrunsfar (natrunsfar.com) sent me so many great Santa Monica recommendations, so we headed straight to the beach!

Shopped on the Promenade

Chowed down on some mexican food…

Followed by Froyo (aka my excuse to eat a cup of cookie dough and brownies)!

Do you ever take last minute trips without a lot of planning?  I typically research and plan ahead of time.  This trip…not so much.
