1. There is a certain intersection on my drive home from work that is so beautiful at the right time of the day. The sun sets to the west, and to the east is a view of the bridge leading me to the other side of the bay. Water all over. Love it.

2. Another view I love.

3. & 4. We celebrated Mothers’ Day a week early since my mom will be out of town. Tony and I each had things to do so we drove over separately. Of course, we didn’t coordinate, and both brought dessert. Not a bad problem to have. 

5. The last shipment of my giveaway from irunfar.com came it. Shoes, an outfit, and 7 pairs of Drymax socks in my favorite style (lite trail)!!!!! This is on top of all this Clif products, sunglasses, and Udo’s Oil that I received previously. I’m forever grateful for this giveaway: it’s $900 of gear that I couldn’t have bought myself but will definitely use. Thanks again, Bryon Powell!

6. This month is boring so I’m reliving last month’s accomplishments Took this photo from the event’s photographer because I was too cheap to buy it. It’s not great quality, so maybe I’ll cave and buy it one day so when I’m 80 years old and still running ultras at a much slower pace, I’ll remember when I was young and spry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To my family- Mom, Pop, Jason and most of all Tony: I love you all so much. I don’t always show it but I always feel it. I appreciate all that you’ve done for me and am thankful that you love me just the way I am. I am very blessed to have you all in my life.

To everyone reading: Appreciate those you have while you still have them. Live your life like you’ll die tomorrow. You probably won’t die but you definitely won’t regret living life to the fullest. Life is a precious gift–don’t take it for granted.
