Utah





I'm hanging out in Utah right now experiencing the amazing fall foliage. I went hiking with my brother, slept too many hours and saw cousins, aunts, and uncles. The mountains are brilliant.

Weekend

I am going to spend the weekend in Salt Lake City where it is 85 right now and my temperature outside reads 111 at this exact moment. It's so hot I cannot even take the luggage out of my car. I get to go to a baby shower for my cousin who is flying in from Colorado just for the event, pregnant belly and all. Yeah for cooler weather and family.

It is my 4th trip to Utah this year. I love it up there and love running there. This weekend I get to run at the parkway trail with a SLC running group.

Tinseltown, here I come!

Off to Los Angeles this weekend for the Los Angeles Literary Festival where I will meet authors and turn pages and pages of beautiful books full of inspiration. I've been writing my book and no doubt this weekend will liven my spirit with people who have achieved success and possess infinite literary skills. I absolutely adore bookstores. They are one of my favorite places to spend time.

Looking forward to seeing my great uncle, family friends and eating delicious birthday cake. My birthday will be spent in the glorious city by the water: Newport Beach. Shopping, brunch with pancakes that taste like cake, and good friends. What more could a girl need?

On my birthday, a long run is in store for me. So I'll be up early, but I'll work off the cake before I eat it.

So this weekend, I'll have my cake and eat it, too.
