Back when I could run I would mix up my weekday mornings with a long jog before work. Now that my exercise is limited and fits into my schedule as an evening activity, my morning routine has changed. I still wake up early, no thanks to miss big eyes, but instead of stepping out the …

That Time I Voluntarily Swam in the Bay
This weekend was full of adventures starting with some long walks around the city and then, yup, a swim in the bay! It might be December, but that did not stop me from suiting up in a wet suit, strapping on two swim caps and loading up on body glide. I have been working hard …

Family for the holidays

But unfortunately to enjoy all that northern Cali has to offer I have to live very far away from my family. I am lucky enough that they are able to travel to visit me often, but sometimes …
