Last trip with friends to California and my 10k run.

Last week (Oct 25-28) I got invited by Patti Lichfield to go with her and a group of ladies from her workout group to go to California for the weekend. We left Hurricane UT at 10:30am in the morning and arrived Santa Monica CA at 4:40pm. I know, your wondering what took us so long to get there. Well, we did couple of stops on the way and one of our stop was in Las Vegas NV for lunch @IN and OUT, then we did another stop when we got into California for PINK BERRY. Now if you don't know what PINK BERRY is it's a frozen yogurt with what ever topping you want on it. Very good stuff, that's why we had to go back THREE DIFFERENT TIMES the day before heading back to UT. Wow! I think I gain 15 pounds that weekend but the best part is we all had a great time. We all stay at Bob Lichfield's apartment in Santa Monica and it was right on the beach you couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Thank you Bob for opening your apartment to us we really do appreciated, you are a great host and a good driver having to drive us around. I also got to go see the WICKED and that was alot for fun. We also ran for 6 miles on the beach that brings me to today and what I did this morning. I ran my very first marathon at 10am in Springdale to the Grafton a ghost town. I was able to run 6 miles in 1hr and 10 minutes and I am very proud to say that I was not the last one in the raise. Jeremy took Kavika to his wesling match this morning at 9am in St George and so Lia went with them. I came home after running ate lunch then we all left to go watch the Hurricane High School football game. This is Jeremy's high school and they have the #1 high school football team. We have one more week before moving to Samoa.
