I normally eat similar snacks throughout the day, carrots, dry cereal, rice cakes, bananas... Well yesterday I switched it up with some new treats and I was pleasantly surprised. This bag of sweet potato pop chips was the perfect amount of salty and sweet. And in a 100 calorie pack you can't go wrong. Later …

The sweet sight of a treadmill
There are treadmill people and there are non-treadmill people. I never minded the treadmill, but only for my early morning workouts when I needed the distraction of the television and the safety of the brightly lit gym in the early hours of the day. Friday I was so excited to finally join the fellow treadmillers …
Tips of Chi
Sunday morning (middle of the long-weekend morning) I took advantage of the beautiful weather, the time of day and my fully recovered health to go for a long run. I am still working on perfecting my new mid-foot strike, so during my 7 mile run I was constantly trying to adjust my foot placement, posture …
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.

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 …

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, …
Monday, Monday, Monday
Do you ever feel like you never even had a weekend when you head back to work on Monday? I had a great weekend but as the alarm went off bright and early yesterday morning I felt like I never had a break. I convinced myself I would avoid the Monday blues if I started …
A wee bit windy
Well Friday night was on of the windiest that I can remember living here in SF. Dave and I armed ourselves with flashlights in preparation for a blackout but we lived through the night with all of our power. The wind continued into yesterday morning, making for a very difficult run. After battling the wind …
Chi…sure
On my quick break at work yesterday I stopped in the downtown Forever 21 and noticed that something was out place. Everyone walking around the store was wearing heavy coats and these were displayed on the table: Seeing as people were more inclined to stuff their hands in their coat pockets to keep warm than …
