Sunny Times in San Francisco

April 20, 2013

Today was one of those Bay Area days where I was glad I remembered to wear sunscreen (confession: I don’t always…). I ran around Crissy Field and up and across the Golden Gate Bridge (GGB). I always feel nervous and excited when I plan to run the GGB. I look at the bridge and marvel [...]

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, [...]

Karma, Jinxes and Baseball Gods

October 25, 2012

I believe in karma, jinxes and baseball gods. Back in 2010, the SF Giants were the third team in baseball, behind the Cubs and Indians, with the longest drought of a World Series championship. None won in San Francisco. To say that the fan base was desperate was an understatement. I prayed to the baseball [...]

My 5-year Blogiversary!

August 27, 2012

Back in college I was famous for going on random tangents, jumping from topic to unrelated topic within seconds. No one could ever follow my thought process, which apparently made me quite (unintentionally) entertaining. It’s also how this little blog – that turned 5 years old on Saturday — got its name. I still remember [...]

2011 Was A Good Year

December 31, 2011

Earlier this month, when I first started thinking about 2011, all I could think about was the 2 DNF’s I had this year. And then I didn’t want to reflect upon the year anymore. But I’ve had a lot of downtime during this week’s staycation, looked beyond those 2 unfortunate incidents and found that there [...]

Weeks 37, 38, 39

October 2, 2011

I guess I fell off the wagon of my weekly recaps again. My motto always used to be, “I don’t do Sundays…” meaning, I needed a whole day of doing nothing to psych myself up for upcoming the work week, but lately my Sunday’s (and pretty much every other day of the week) have been [...]

The Giant Race 2011

August 28, 2011

This weekend 2 favorites of mine converged – running and baseball = The Giant Race. Here’s how the weekend went. Friday ART I visited my chiro for an ART session. If you’ve ever had an ART session, you know that they are very intense, but fairy short, usually 15 minutes or so. This particular session [...]

This Week

August 26, 2011

TGIF! It’s Friday afternoon and I can hardly believe that I survived the week. The week started off with hours spent at the County courthouse for Jury Duty. Yes, JURY DUTY. It makes me irrationally angry that because someone else decided to commit a crime, others have to be inconvenienced by sitting in a basement [...]
