Santa Barbara!

Hello from beautiful Santa Barbara! 

Henri’s here for work this week so I drove up yesterday after class to spend a few days enjoying the resort that he’ll be too busy working to appreciate 😉

This was a pretty spur of the moment trip so I have no idea what to do while I’m here. If you have any good breakfast or lunch spots that I should check out let me know!

The one thing that I knew I did want to do in SB was get in my track workout on one of the prettiest tracks ever! 

IMG_7487 - CopyAfter Henri headed off to work I drove to La Playa Stadium at SBCC. After a 2 mile warm-up along the beach path I did the following workout 

track workout 5.12

It was killer! Especially since I haven’t run a mile that fast in a looooooong time but it also made me wicked happy! I forgot how much I love the track and the leg/lung burning feeling that comes along with a good, hard workout!

I finished off with an easy 2 mile cool-down + some abs because I wasn’t ready to leave just yet. If you’re ever in SB you have to come run on this track! It’s open to the public for FREE from 6AM to 10PM daily! How awesome is that!?!?

Okay – that’s all I’ve got for now! Gotta go write a paper for class… :/ but at least I’ll have a nice ocean view while I work!
