One of my favorite things to do....Run. This was a picture that my friend took of me while running the Virginia Beach Rock-n-Roll 1/2 marathon. I love to run. I'm not very fast, but it's still fun. Well except when you are running at 5:30 in the morning and happen upon a naked man, that's not so fun....but I won't go into that story.

I went to REI today, those of you who don't know what REI is, SHOULD. I love that store. I bought a pair of black Chacos for my travels. They are a bit pricey, but the best sandals ever. You can hike, bike, climb rocks, walk through water, and over slippery rocks, and maneuver through rain sopped streets without falling on your butt. I have one pair already, but had to buy a black pair so I could wear them with dresses, etc. while traveling. I've gotta match a little bit, can't go completely earthy crunchy. I may have to take a picture of my new purchase and post it on here. I'm not sure if I can run in them, but I may try that out.
