Yes, it has been quite some time since my words have graced your screens, and yes you read correctly, I am now living in Israel. Well, truthfully I have only lived in Israel for a few hours so you are not missing any of my Middle Eastern adventures. However, a lot has happened since I …

A year without running
Today, June 30th, marks the one year anniversary of a day that has forever changed my view of the world. I have always been able to run, but I have not always been a runner. I played on team sports since I was a young lass, baseball, basketball, and lacrosse, and they all involved plenty …
You have to start somewhere
Yesterday I turned my Garmin on. It was the first time I had pushed the power button since June 30, 2012 and it still had my distance logged on the home screen from that fateful day. I was going to take a picture of the screen, but I decided that I have enough memories from …
Taking it Back
On June 30, 2012 my life changed forever. In a freak, let's prove the existence of physics running accident, I broke my left hip. After major surgery and months of recovery I am back in tip top shape. Other than a higher risk of arthritis and some weaker leg muscles that will slowly even out, …
Little Obsessions

Long time no blog
I am SO sorry for not being here. I am gearing up for some big changes in my life and have neglected one of my favorite friends, my blog. I have been selfish, busy and lazy and have failed to share my ideas and adventures, which has left me feeling a bit empty. I love curling up …
WIAW – restaurant style
I have had a few visitors over the past couple of weeks and while I love cooking for guests, I certainly prefer to dine out at fun and delicious San Francisco joints. So if you ever find yourself in the bay area (especially in my neighborhood by the water) you wont be disappointed by these few favorites …
I’m Back
Dear Blogging World, I apologize for my absence. It was not on purpose, nor were there any feelings of malice behind my leave, life just got in the way. That is not a good excuse as you are part of my daily living, but please forgive me for straying for so long. Ok, ok. Yes, …
A weekend of learning
I haven't been in a classroom setting in almost four years. And while I aim to find myself back in higher education some day, right now I continue to learn outside these formal confines. This has been a year of self-exploration and finding strength and knowledge within myself. This weekend was yet another example of …
Falling off the wagon and getting back on the horse
Between traveling for work for 10 days and having a fabulous visitor for the weekend my gym routine has been far from normal. Before the big NYC Toy Fair I was going to spin class twice a week, swimming twice a week and doing some strength training. Since I boarded the plane to the east …
