Is everyone OK? 😊🙃We missed you at Senator Lara Linear Park in Lynwood this morning. 45 minutes of running on the trail and at Ham Burke Park. I met my Buenos Dias friends plus a nice group at Ham Burke. One gentleman is a retired businessman who knew Lynwood High Principal Mickey Cureton, my boss in 1988 to 1993. 🤙😊🏝️🌺

Behind on posting, Marie and I were at the Downey TLC 5K and over 1200 in race. Good to see many Downey USD friends plus Dr Sonya. Marie had Friday Night Lights competition at 5150 Cross Fit. I ran with Compton Run Club. Today I ran from Somerset Park to Church and back then I did my journaling at Rosie the Riveter Park in Long Beach. I am tired. 😴

Interesting week with the rain. I worked out with weights at the Y on Monday and Wednesday but no swimming due to the rain and cold, stationery bike. On Tuesday I met at the Y then ran around Lakewood High. Thursday I ran at Heartwell Park and it was nice to return after my run to the Y. Today I was with Compton Run Club at Compton Airport for a 3 mile run. I left when they started yoga but left them some oranges and sparkly water.

The Big 3 and Roger met at Somerset Park in Long Beach, CA and ran by Longfellow Elementary and Hughes Middle School. A 40 minute run.

The Big 3 ran for 55 minutes on the Fullerton Loop trail. Cyclists, walkers and runners on a wilderness like trail. Very nice people and we made it😚 even with the uphill parts.

I missed you Team! We were at Senator Lara Linear Park in Lynwood. I ran almost 1 hour then journaled at Ham-Burke Park close by. Friendly people, everyone says Good Morning/Buenos Dias. I saw a few runners and some dogs. One group of lady walkers walked past me several times as I was journaling then I turned around and they were dancing the Zumba.
