Running and Laughing through the Golden State
Running and Laughing through the Golden State
It’s hard to believe I got married six years ago. Apparently, I only blog about my anniversary on even anniversaries, so 6 years gets a blog post (this is not on purpose in the slightest).
Last year, for our fifth anniversary, we had a lot of plans. We contemplated going to Norway, but then we found out we were moving. We were actually planning to spend five years in the Bay Area. Then I broke my foot, and COVID happened, so we spent it at home.
While in Sacramento, I knew I wanted to go to Rick’s Dessert Diner. To be honest, a diner that only serves dessert seems like a dream to me. My favorite thing to order at diners is cake anyway!
Rick’s has been voted the number 1 place for dessert in Sacramento for several years.
The ASICS Nimbus Lite 2 is the updated version of the Nimbus Lite. Over the last couple of years, ASICS has included “lite” versions of some of their staple shoes. The Lite version uses FlyteFoam versus gel. It makes it softer and lighter than their favorites. ASICS doesn’t necessarily want to get rid of their staples like the Gel Nimbus, but they do want to give options to those who want a lighter shoe. Cue the ASICS Nimbus Lite 2.
The ASICS Nimbus 23, also known as the gel Nimbus, has been around for 23 versions. This makes it one of the longest-standing shoes in the running industry. That means it must be good, right?
A common question is ways to keep running when you want to stop. Let’s be honest here; running is not always exciting or interesting. In fact, sometimes running is straight-up boring.
Not every run is going to feel great. Some days it’s a constant mental battle of one foot in front of the other.
