The Tao of Me

I love summer for baseball, not so much for the heat. In fact, I detest heat and humidity. Odd coming from a girl from Hawai’i, right? Lucky for me, I live in the San Francisco Bay Area where we (usually) have year-round mild temperatures. To take it even further, I live in one of the [...]

I can hardly believe the weekend is almost over. The Sunday night dread is already setting in. After being mentally drained from a hard week, I meant to take it easy on Friday night…you know, get some takeout, watch the Giants game. But there is no such thing as “easy” for Giants fans; its more [...]

Friday Night Game This was the inaugural year of the Giant Race, the first half-marathon hosted by the Giants. I registered for the race [...]

So is the manifesto of See Jane Run, the company that put on the race that I ran yesterday. After running a mid-day run on Friday, I knew it would be hot on Saturday. As I drove across the San Mateo Bridge to the race in Alameda, it was overcast and foggy. Perfect running conditions, [...]
