Living in the Bay Area is something special. I have said it a lot: Here and Here and Here. But where can you enjoy the whirring liveliness of the city and then drive less than an hour and be surrounded by the serene beauty of nature. With some out-of-towners in toe, we spent the day …

Staycation
It would be lovely to dip my toes in the warm lapping waters of the Caribbean right now, but unfortunately I do not have the money or the time to escape on that kind of weekend adventure. I can, however, explore the Bay Area and all it has to offer with the wonder and awe of …
Things that make me smile
Trying to pull out of a parking spot with a "not-so-cute" red car pinned behind me does NOT make me smile. But being physically able to walk all over the city for 3 hours certainly makes me smile 🙂 Trying to reconnect my DVD player with possibly the wrong wires, leaves me with a frown. …
Starting the year off right
I hope everyone enjoyed their New Year's festivities! I celebrated with a night of drinks and dancing 🙂 It was a perfect way to spend the evening, moving on the dance floor with both my good hip and my no-longer-broken one. The first day of 2013 was spent resting my tired legs, enjoying the fresh …
2012
365 days ago I started this blog. It was supposed to chronicle my journey as a runner and my healthy (and not so healthy) habits. And while running was a major part of this daily publication for many months, running took a major back seat to many other life events that happened this year. Some …
On top of the world

Party, holiday style
Last night I had my company holiday party. Complete with festive drinks And holiday cheer from a brilliantly lit city 🙂 May your holidays be filled with health and happiness!
Brrrrrrr
It's COLD! Yes, I live in northern California so winter coats made to combat the fierce below freezing temperatures of the east coast are not necessary. However, I have acclimated to the mild temperatures here and any day below 50 degrees feels like I am back in New Jersey in the depths of January. So …
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 …
Sunday Soup
If you don't live in the Bay Area you may not have heard that we had tons of rain, causing lots of flooding. The rain was amazingly loud and the wind was so strong. It's hard to believe that I snapped this picture of the bright clear sky only hours after 3 days of rain. …
