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 …

Checking off the bucket list
Look at what I'm wearing!! This might be a rental, but I am fully committed to swimming in the bay this weekend. Stay tuned for details about my next plunge... Happy Friday! What adventures are you going on this weekend?
Sore
I have come a long way from my first weeks in the pool. I no longer have to stop between every 50 yards, I have much stronger form and I can swim comfortably for 45 minutes. Of course I still wake up sore the next day depending on which stroke I focused on and it …
Rest for the weary
I had planned to wake up early and head to the gym Monday morning, but after a trip back east and a full day of traveling my 8:30pm bedtime the night before let me know an early morning was not on the horizon. I slept all the way until my alarm and got ready for …
Resting
I have always tried to work out 6-7 days a week for my physical and mental health. With this injury it has been even more important to work out but also just as important to take rest days. Each day I work out I am focusing on my glutes especially on my left side (injured …

My PT workout sessions are all about strengthening my glutes, hamstrings and quads in order to support my hip and ultimately get back to running shape. Everything I do can be augmented to be done at home or in any gym so I thought I would share some of the booty wealth with all of …
Underwater Concert
Forget the terribly awkward closeness of the iphone, the cropping of my entire body and the inappropriate locker room photography, but do you see what is around my neck? I am the proud owner of a waterproof iPod Shuffle and it works while I swim! After listening to my endearing moans about how boring the pool can be …
Getting Warm
I don't know about you but I am not adjusting well to the cold. This weekend I kept very busy to avoid sitting in my freezing apartment. I ran lots of errands, went for a hike, exercised at the gym and I even bought sweaters! I also got my haircut - where I knew there …
To the Top
I have said it a million times, but there is something magical about the Bay Area. Yesterday it was a perfect day for a hike. Yes, it is November when most of the country starts to experience frost, snow flurries and winter coats. Well here it was cool but no down jacket required. With blue …
Sometimes
I just want to stay in bed all day but I am not a cat... So off to the pool this Saturday morning!
