La Jolla, CA 2011



Holy vacation! We just got back from La Jolla, CA and had so much fun!

We arrived last Saturday and then Sunday Dustin, Meghan, and I did the La Jolla 1/2
Marathon. We may look like lean long-legged runners but don't be fooled...we
are not runners...well Meghan is the exception. To give you a quick recap of the race Dustin and I did little training. I was told by many that once at the race my "adrenaline" would kick in and carry me through. The only thing that kicked in was a sharp pain in my butt. It felt like someone was giving me an epidural in my hip/butt every step I took. Let's just say the majority of the race was uphill, with a beastly hill right in the middle. But we all finished!!! The next day we went to Disneyland which I would not recommend after running 13 miles. But it was so much fun! Brody's favorites were Pirate's of Carribbean and the Gadget Rollercoaster. Noah was a little angel and loved seeing all of the fun things. I think his favorite ride was the Mickey train.

Then Tuesday we went to Mission Beach and played in the sun! Then Wednesday we hit up Sea World and headed home!

Congrats on finishing your half!!! That is not an easy task...and going to disneyland the day after. You seriously rock. If i had a pain in the rear I would have quit long before the finish. :)
