La Dolce Vita

Zane and I went for a most exhilarating run last night. Well more like a jog with as slow as I "run." Wouldn't you know, we get about a block from our casa, totally committed to running at this point and it starts just pouring buckets of rain on us. At first we both kind of looked at each other and were like... 'don't we usually make fun of these people when we pass them in our cars all warm and dry....??' yah, we do... oh well. Like I said, we were at this point committed to running. But i'm telling you, the rain was exhilarating, it was like it gave me a burst of extra energy. We became 6-years-old again for those two-and-a-half miles jumping in every big puddle we could find shouting at each other with mock disgust that we would dare to get each other wet. And we definitely found some worthy puddles to jump in... some were over our ankles... so when we ran we actually made an audible squishy sound... we then decided it made perfect sense to run down to the ocean and go for a swim... seeing how we were already saturated... our pants were literally sliding off because they were sooo heavy with water. The ocean water was incredibly calm and warm and clear, and it was wonderfully peaceful to roll in with the giant gentle waves (clothes and all-ha!) Then we came home and took a hot shower. It was fantastic!!! Oh and we definitely confirmed that for this upcoming halloween we are dressing up as 'nerdy joggers' with fanny-packs, clip on cassette players, sweatbands for our heads AND wrists (because your wrists TOTALLY get sweaty y'all! or not... we both discussed our confusion over wrist sweat bands...), tube socks, ankle weights, and teensy tiny short neon shorts. So sexy, hahaha.
