....My 1 hour 4.5 mile run yesterday to the Hollywood sign was INTENSE and then I got home and did 30 mins of Power Yoga too!!....
It was hot as hell and it's straight incline!....The road to get up there is called "LA SUVIDA!= in spanish means "THE INCLINE!".....Ahhhhhhhhhh hell no!!!!!! I mean since we live on the same hill as the Hollywood sign it isn't far at all, but it's different driving than it is running...hahah...I'm sure you can all picture and imagine it, if you've ever seen the pics of How High the Hollywood sign is....
...It's amazing there though.....there is a HUGE resevior that has amazing twinkles...and a dirt path....and actually today I am going to take a run up there again...it was REALLY challenging....huffin and puffin like crazy!!....But also, because I found a "secret little trail"....towards the top of the hill right before you get to the Lookout point at the top...and I bet if I keep going higher and higher up the mountain .....one day...hahaha....IMAGINE...I can sit on a an "L" letter from the HOLLYWOOD SIGN!...
...well...I don't think that's gonna happen...but damn near close....! hahah 
!
...I'm gonna check today actually after work, to see if the Stun gun I bought for precautions came in already....I think the "STUN GUN" should have arrived already! So now, I can take a run in the mornings to REALLY start training for this Marathon!!!
....This weekend though, I plan to throw a 13.5 miler down= 1/2 Marathon...and JUST DO IT!....Because of the heat though....early afternoon is going to have to be the best!....that's if we don't go Kayaking on Sunday...if we do...then we are going to have to do a 9 miler only on Sat!...no worries....BE HAPPY!!

...challenged me...with NO WEIGHT LOSS and PURE GAIN....and I broke!!!! 
I did the math and the amount of water converted to Lbs is under 2lbs loss...so WHATEVER....but still....fuckn' STOP THE RETENTION HERE ALTA!
...(fucker was right!)...
...YESTRDAY though, I was ready to CONQUER those hills!!!...It was funny...my legs shifted position kinda like a treadmill does....when you raise the incline....YOU STILL KEEP GOING...you just adjust those legs, and all of a sudden your ass perks out more, your chest kinda goes forward more, and your shins are now closer to your toes, and you pushhhhhh through those hills 
I hate to think she's right...but that's what it looks like doesn't it...
that is my mom's personality... and for the most part, I am able to shine her comments right off...cause we all joke around a lot,...but yesterday...I was really down on myself already....and her comments just hit home!...But thank you for your sweet comments!!!....It's easy to forget how far we have come sometimes. Keep your eye on the prize!...I like it!!
