Yesterday was my last day in the office for the week so I decided to treat it as my Friday 🙂 The morning started off with a sweet concoction of pan sautĂ©ed apple with cinnamon and a tsp of vanilla. Then I mixed this toasted mixture with some plain cottage cheese and topped it with a bit of bran. It was still …
A day of experiments
Yesterday was a day of experiments... For breakfast I was craving something on the savory side so I slapped some tomato sauce on a sandwich thin and sprinkled some "fake" cheese in between the bread. When I got to work I stuck it in the microwave ... and ... tada! Ooey cheesy-ish goodness in the a.m. …
Run it off
My Chi Running book came in the mail and I dove right into it. So far I've only read chapter 1 and I am more interested in getting to chapter 4, which focuses on technique, but this one sentence was quite appropriate for yesterday: "... I love running. It's like having an old friend that …
The SF Mirrors Project
It was one of those days where I just had to leave the office to grab some air and take a break from emails and the phone. While strolling the streets of Union Square in downtown SF I came across this mirror stuck on the side of a building: It was so nice to see …
Tennis Shoes, Trainers, Kicks, Sneakers…
Let's just say I have acquired quite a few over the years. Yesterday I made a very important purchase, and added another pair to the collection all in the name of my new running style. I needed a lighter shoe tailored to support a mid-foot strike, so after consulting with my go to authority on …
Yes, last time I checked it was January
Hard to believe that it's the middle of winter after the day we had yesterday. Saturday morning I enjoyed the glorious weather and went for a seven mile run. I decided to implement the tricks I learned during my physical therapy session and dedicated my entire run to focusing on my feet placement and overall …
A TJ’s Kinda Day
Who doesn't love Trader Joe's? One of my favorite specialty items from there is the pre-made egg white salad. It's great to grab for breakfast when you're in a rush and I love mixing it into my salads. Yesterday I made a salad with these egg whites, cherry tomatoes and chopped up pickles 🙂 I …
Who doesn’t love mail?
Thursday morning, after spinning the night before I decided to give my poor legs a break and focus on my upper body. If you want a great arm workout feel free to try out Julie's set list here. I couldn't lift my arms to wash my hair afterwards! I did, however, find the strength to …
Look at me go!
Yesterday's physical therapy appointment was a huge success. I was nervous after Tuesday’s morning run that I would be in pain today, but not the case. During the PT session I got to test out my version of Chi-Running and after a few little tweaks I was told I had caught on quite fast. It …
Can I have a do-over morning please?
When I woke up at 5:40 yesterday morning I was expecting to go to a 6:15 spin class and then catch the 7:30 bus to work - well let me tell you this did not happen. Instead, when I got to the gym, with plenty of time to sign up for the class mind you, …
