Running in the O.C.

It must take some sort of sickness to get up at 6:00 am and purposely run while you are on vacation. Whatever this sickness is I must have it pretty bad because I did my usual 3 mile run in 30 min this morning.  (here is a link to my route) But there was something different to this morning then to any other morning I have experienced so far.  This time last year I was forced to walk a block and then run 2 blocks...I continued this from 18th to 1st street and then I walked back to 18th street. This year it was a constant 10 minute mile from 18th street to the primary pier by the amusement part and back.  What a difference that is!  I praise the Lord for the strength he has given me to endure and to have the determination to continue on this weight loss journey, I praise him every day for this gift he has given me!
