First, let me apologize for my absence. Last year when I started this blog I was dedicated to posting something every day, and I did. This year I am still very adamant about keeping up with my writing, however with all of the things going on in my life I have decided to only post when I …

Some Feedback
Because running is off of the table until late Summer at the earliest I have turned to swimming and spinning. I really enjoy my time in the pool, but swimming wall to wall can get a bit old day after day, so I have turned to gym classes to get in a good workout. My …
Spin Therapy
I parked the car, grabbed my gym bag and proceeded to the tag scan. I reached for a towel and did a double take. There was a stack of spin class passes for the 5:15pm class and I couldn't look away. I have been cleared to do spin classes by my doctor and up until …
Achoo
Over these last few days I have had a head cold, complete with sniffles, sneezes and lots of tissues. During the majority of the day I feel ok and I find it hard to steer clear of the gym without a legitimate flu excuse. I spent half an hour on the stationary bike one day …

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 …
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?
I smell tree
It's not every day that you walk around the office thinking, "hrmm it smells like the top of a mountain in here." That time of year has arrived, and while snow flurries and freezing temperatures are no where to be seen in the Bay Area, the holiday spirit is all around. My office is now …
