I Love to Run (seriously)

(tell me you don't want to be here)
Surprisingly, on of the best things about where I live is the Botanic Garden. I try to go for a run at least once a day, which doesn't always happen, and even more shocking then the effort I put into going for runs is how sad I get when I don't have time for one.

Anyway, the last time running ever gave me a high was probably in high school when I was training for cross country. Since graduation, the actual activity of running was a mixture of humiliation and torture.  But here, my run is the best part of my day. Mostly. 

The Botanic Garden provide many shady trails and awesome views. And there are a ton of totally awesome trees and even a giant agave plant, which is mind boggling.

I love to run to a little field that overlooks my flat complex:

And here is the wide view. Now you know why I love to run here:


And here is my favorite tree (really, it is my favorite):


An awesome view of the harbor:

  1. I am really jealous. I hate running these days largely because when I run, it is next to a four lane road and through parking lots. So jealous.
