Five Days in Arizona

March 8, 2013

I’ve been to 16 of the last 19 years of Spring Training, and this year is the longest trip of all – 10 days. I normally make the annual pilgrimage to the Cactus League with my Bay Area cousins (and fellow SF Giants fans) but they weren’t able to make it this year. So instead, [...]

The Grilled Cheese Run

March 23, 2012

Among the many gifts that running has given me is a great big circle of friends. Our little Bay Area group is made up of some amazing people. These friends are a constant source of motivation – they teach, uplift and motivate me. Last night, we all trekked to the City from the South Bay, [...]

I Love Food

January 25, 2012

I love food. I mean, I *really* love food. I think it’s a Hawai’i thing because growing up, we had foods from so many different cultures and I’ve learned to appreciate the flavors and textures of most all kinds of foods (still can’t do Indian and Thai cuisines – it’s the curry thing). And although [...]

Funky American Comfort Weekend

September 5, 2011

It’s Labor Day weekend – the great American tradition that signals the end of summer. Except for us in San Francisco, summer is only just beginning. It’s the time of the year that the weather gets funky – cooler, darker mornings, blazing hot afternoons and then cooled down temps at night. I didn’t really make [...]

Racing Weight Video

August 10, 2011

So remember the book I mentioned in this post? The one that I am *still* reading (yes, I’m slow that way)… I found this video by the author that talks about using calorie counting to create dietary awareness. I’ve actually found this to be true. After a few weeks of counting calories, I am pretty [...]

So About That Whole Eating Thing…

July 26, 2011

Since June, I’ve been actively trying to change my diet by eliminating processed foods and eating more wholesome, natural foods. I can honestly say that I’ve kicked the snacky chips and pretzels habit. I’ve become a regular at the Farmers Market and now snack on things like whole, raw almonds and corn on the cob. [...]

Wrapping Up My Mini Vacation

July 16, 2011

It’s the last night of my mini-vacation and I find myself staying in a little town north of Seattle. My cousin Riley’s Little League team made it to the State tournament and is being held in this little town I’ve never heard of before. The rest of the family headed north yesterday but Jenna and [...]
