A couple of weeks ago, my friends and I took part in the annual Palo Alto Moonlight 10k race. I loved everything about the experience, and it only reinforced my love for running. Throughout my entire life, I found myself making every excuse not to run. The only time you'd probably see me running anywhere was to get to a good sale. Living in the Bay area has really helped motivate me to stay healthy and active. You can't live here and not participate in some kind of hobby that doesn't get you off the couch. I mean hello, why live in the Bay if you're not going to take advantage of the gorgeous weather! I'm in love with the idea that you can enjoy all the amazing food here but still create a balance between indulgence and a healthy lifestyle. So eat, drink, and run to your heart's content my friends. Next race is November 14th- The San Francisco Mermaid Race. Can't wait!

ps. check out my friend Kjersti's blog for expert running tips you can use everyday ;)

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
