… Chicken Face saying, “Ok, I’ll go. Let’s bring Lola too.”
… The aforementioned husband also offering to drive.
… The early morning, hour long drive to Half Moon Bay in your PJs.
… Being dropped off to meet my coach’s cycling group while Chicken Face finds a place to settle down and work.
… Riding along highway one and through the hills of Half Moon bay for three glorious hours.
… Breathtaking ocean views
… Never-ending hills that, for the first time, I felt incredibly strong on (for my level).
… Eating and drinking for the first time on my bike without falling off.
… Reaching the top of the series of hills and literally pumping my fists in the air channeling my inner rocky.
… Doing it all while proudly sporting bright green.
… “Showering” with baby wipes.
… Meeting Chicken Face and Lola to spend the rest of the day discovering Half Moon Bay’s hidden gems.
… Including the worlds best artichoke bread in Pescadero.
… Waves harmoniously crashing on the empty beach.
… Weather warm enough to warrant shorts.
… And most importantly, being with my two favorite people in the world.
Yes, perfection does exist.
What does your perfect day look like?
Happy Running!
best. post. ever! beautiful!
Wow, those pictures are beautiful!
And congratulations on improving, feeling great and reaching goals!! You are so inspirational to me!
For me a perfect day involves a run in the park where I feel awesome. Running up hills and reaching the top, just like that.
Also running with friends, seeing them along the sides of a race to cheer you on!
Or when your loved one doesn`t mind you having an alarm clock set to extreme hours in the morning.
I can see your smile when I read these words. So glad you had the day you needed.

I would say that perfection is photos of that cute, little dog on a beach! Love it!
This IS perfection. OMG the last pic of Lola is like out of a doggie calendar or something. Awesome awesome 🙂
