Pitfalls on the way to the Silverlake run...

SO. One of my lofty goals for this year was to run around Silverlake Reservoir. For some people, not such a big deal. It's about 2.2 miles. I have a friend from middle school, Michelle, who has two kids and when she had just her first daughter ran a leg of a relay marathon the morning before meeting the rest of us for brunch and then attending another friend of ours' wedding. So she walks on water pretty much. Seriously.

I don't. And I certainly don't run on water. Or at all, lately. My gym delight has been assuaged by yoga, cardio on elliptical machines, light weights, swimming, and jumping on my delightful rebounder.

I need to get back into running. I want to do this goal justice and I want to do it especially before LA becomes a den of heat every day.

However, I have been slighted in my quest. Big time.
