The Road to Rio via San Jose

Hello from San Jose, CA! I’m here for the US Women’s Gymnastics trials. It’s super exciting and fun!! But first let’s talk about running and eating…

This morning I did another 9 miles in an effort to get some more miles on tired legs. Tomorrow is going to be a very happy rest day.

After my run I got ready and headed to the airport. I just realized it was my first time getting an Uber from home. I usually just use them when I’m traveling! Anyway. I flew from Orange County to San Jose and it was easy breezy. I think the flight was 1 hour.

I have a bunch of small cuts / chafe marks from my sports bra on my chest and under my arms. It’s not a big deal but I noticed a few random looks that reminded me I should cover them up or explain to everyone that I run and sometimes your clothes leave marks on long runs… blah blah blah.

Okay let’s get to San Jose!

It is gorgeous here. GORGEOUS. I’m a big fan of California and every time I see a new awesome place I want to move there forever.

In bee sting news- the sting on my butt got WORSE. It seemed fine yesterday (or maybe I didn’t realize?) but I woke up this morning with a huge welt. Then, I got back from my run and checked it again – it was bigger and redder and disgusting-er. Gross.

I sent a picture to my one friend Katie aka the nurse practitioner and she said to just give all my stuff away and walk toward the light. Fantastic.

But I decided to push through for another night because I didn’t want to miss dinner or the US gymnastics trials.

After dinner and M&Ms the group headed to the SAP center for the trials. We’re here with CorePower (they sponsor one of the star athletes).
