Today at 3:53 I pulled Blitz into the parking lot of my hotel in Studio City, CA and was greeted by 5 girls in familiar athletica clothing standing by yoga mats…hmmm..oh yeah the LA area Lululemon gals showed up to welcome me..sorry we were a little late!

Dad and I had a great start to the day. Nice riding in the am, sunny and good temps. We made it 125 miles and then Uncle Bob met us in Santa Clarita and helped guided us into town. He used to live out here and decided to fly back in to be on the receiving end of my trip, so cool! He basically qualifies to be one of the bus drivers on the “Star Tours”…he’s that good at getting around town. In Santa Calrita we grabbed a quick In N Out “Grilled Cheese” then hit it across the valley to the hotel.

The girls from the Brentwood and Glendale store were here and after the incredible welcome we talked a lot about my trip, CF, running, getting bit my squirrels and much much more. Oh and we did some quick yoga because ya know, that’s what we’re supposed to do. Apparently I have good hip flexors..I beg to differ.

So much fun and it’s great to meet a group of very sincere people share my positive attitude toward life. Thanks girls..see you soon when we all run the Disneyland or Malibu half!

One of my very very best friends, Jennifer aka Henson, lives about an hour from the hotel and she drove in to go to dinner with us tonight. So good to laugh with her again, something that’s a guarantee when we’re together. She is actually coming back in tomorrow to go to the Ellen taping with me and my dad!! Can’t wait.

Off to the Ellen taping tomorrow at 4pm. The show will air on Thursday so look for me in the audience busting my moves!
Rock CF,
Emily

P.S. Stay tuned for my blog about the Ellen experience and also a full recap of the trip…I can’t believe it’s almost done…
