It has been really hot in Southern California this week - 95 in the Beach areas, 100+ inland. Since I have no air in apartment in Dana Point, it makes it a bit more difficult to get cooled down. It has been a real help to have joined the 24 hour fitness here - it has allowed me to run in doors and start to build my base back up. I was able to get a 6 miler in this weekend!
I went and drove around some areas that I have not spent much time in yet. There are some really nice areas around Dana Point and Laguna - we may look at leasing for a while so that we can get a better feel for the area. I will post some pictures up when I get a reader that I can connect to the laptop. All in all I am pretty bored being here without Linda and the girls, I just run out of things to do. I am really dreading the July 4th weekend, three days of boredom. Oh well - I guess I have to go figure it out.
Oh well, got to keep the running up this week and get ready for a 7 miler next weekend.

Some Better Running Days
The new job has made running a bit more challenging, really not having Linda around has made it challenging. I did however join the local gym and have started to get some runs and cross trains in. This weekend I went for a 5 mile on the treadmill, it has been a while since I ran 5 miles. Today I was able to get a 4 mile run in along the beach area in Dana Point. The weather is pretty nice right now so getting outside is good. It is nice to have access to a steam room and suana after my workouts.
I have started to add some cross training is just to keep it interesting. No telling where it will go from here, but it is a bit better. The girls put in a 7 miler over the weekend - wow....
I am getting a little bored being by myself most of the time. The weekends are a challenge. We are not getting a great deal of action on the house in Rochester which makes it a little more stressful. I know it is harder on Linda because she has to play the waiting game back there. Well we have to keep the faith. Work is going well, starting to get a little settled - still have lots and lots to learn but at least I am starting to get into some key routines. Will try to update more often. Of course the best thing that could happen for me is a little weight loss. I go out to lots of lunches and dinners - just keep trying to eat a little lighter. Also have to keep away from the beer, it really adds to the waistline.
Will try to update with some pics next time, it is beautiful here most of the time. There have really been no bad weather days.
