Sunday was an incredibly busy day starting off bright and early with a visit to my salon. Alyssa straightened my hair to make sure all the layers were even so I decided to wear it straight all day. I can't remember a time I was so aware of my physical appearance. I couldn't stop looking at myself in the mirror. While I thought it looked pretty I also very much felt that it looked incredibly plain. No offense to my straight-haired sisters....I just never realized how much I love my curls. After my cut Farilla and I went downtown to check out the Renegade Craft Fair. I love having a partner who appreciates Indie design, art and fashion as much as I do. We walked through the Fair at least twice to make sure we hadn't missed anything and sure enough as we were getting ready to leave we ran into Ted and Angie from Poketo. We chatted with them for a while and Ted helped Farilla pick out another Poketo tee to add to his ever-growing arsenal. If you haven't already stopped by, be sure to hit up the Poketo pop-up shop at Royal/T in Culver City. And don't forget to check out the cafe. Angie hand selected the eats currently being served. After Renegade we shot back to the westside to stock up picnic-ables for the Ray LaMontagne show at The Hollywood Bowl. Tim, Tessa, Farilla & I arrived at The Bowl about an hour before showtime. We were lucky to find a picnic table where we enjoyed a variety of yummies from the Whole Foods deli....Mmm, olive bar! As you've probably already read the show was fantastic. We got home late and I was thoroughly exhausted! I guess this is my long-winded explanation for not getting up and into the gym yesterday morning. Fortunately we rallied and made up for it today. I had a good but not great run this AM. Back at it tomorrow...

Originally uploaded by Sanctuary-StudioWhat an incredible show! Farilla and I basked in each others presence while listening to Ray croon. The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra was an added bonus. Wow! A complete love-fest.

Running: Yes!
Today was a MUCH better day! I caught my second wind by mile 3. Breathing was clam and easy right through mile 4. If only all my workouts could feel this great! Happy Friday, indeed!

Eerie!
Some observations...
Lots of wreckage and burnt out flares in dark intersections. Lots of tow trucks towing mangled cars. Quite a few empty tow trucks driving around too. Sidewalks packed with local diners whose tables have been relocated outside. The lighting store on Bundy had power while the rest of the block was pitch black. Gas stations all have power. One side of the street may have power while the otherside does not. Same with neighboring intersections. I have power, thank gawd! Lots of people hanging out outside. Very dark bike riders....one riding with a flashlight in hand.
Running: Ugh!
No more two week breaks between now and when my braids go in for The Burn. I'm tired, sore and cranky...chai latte time.
