I am so happy today is a much cooler day, yesterday was in the 100′s and it seemed to never cool down.  Today I woke up around 7:00 and went outside to be greeted by a nice chill, oh how good that felt.  I was finally able to get a  good run in today without overheating.  I signed up for the Big Sur half marathon in November so need to get in shape and start running longer distances.  Today I did about 3.5 miles and it felt really good, I think on Monday I will have to push it up to 6 miles.  Anyone that wants to join me for the Bur Sur race let me know, the more the merrier.

While on my run I usually listen to some good music or audiobooks and got thinking about dreams.  Why is it that kids have such huge dreams but when they are older those dreams fade away?  Think about it, most kids when asked what they would like to do with their lives say something like a Astronaut, President, Photographer  but when they are older those dreams fade away.    Life can try and beat us down but should never get in the way of our dreams.  Take a minute today to think about what you dreamed about being when you were a child and then think how you can still attain that dream today.  There is really nothing in the way of you obtaining your dream other than yourself.  

Im off to a wedding at one of my favorite locations, Testorossa Vineyards in Los Gatos and hope everyone has a great long weekend!!!
