The Tao of Me

Wednesday’s Workout: AM: Spin I had an early morning meeting that required me to be in the office by 7:30 am. And I couldn’t workout after work because it was also little Jasmine’s 5th birthday (cousin’s kid) and we had a family dinner planned. So, I found myself at the gym when the doors opened [...]

Okay I’m back. It’s been a busy, busy month so far and I have lots to blog about. But first I want to pick up where I left off, and finish recapping my weekend in New York. I mean, the whole purpose of the trip was to visit Woodbury Commons, so I must write about [...]

I’ve been celebrating Thanksgiving in San Francisco since my college days. Hawai’i was too far to travel to, so I’d always come to my aunt and uncle’s home here in the Bay. It was during those visits that I decided I wanted to live in the Bay Area. Every year, on the day after Thanksgiving, [...]

Its Saturday morning and I’m lying in bed trying to muster up the energy to head out for a run. The nice thing about being Fall/Winter is that I can head out later in the day and not die from heat exhaustion. While I’m trying to make myself get moving, I thought I’d write a [...]

A common trait that people always seem to write on their resumes is “able to multi-task.” Employers often look at this as a good thing – that one is productive and can get many things done at once. But I believe, multi-tasking isn’t always great. When you try to do too much at once, you [...]

Wednesday night means a Tattersols workout (running club). When I got home from work, I plopped down on my couch to watch the World Series and inhaled a bowl of Erin Baker’s Double Dark Chocolate Chunk granola. I was so tempted to blow-off run club and just lie there all tonight. I just wasn’t feeling [...]

Its been a really busy week and I haven’t blogged at all, so before I take off to Vegas for the weekend, I thought I’d write a quick post. I’m not a big Halloween person. My friends will vouch for this. When they were all dressing up as french maids and genies, I would always [...]

I googled the words “feeling zen” and this image came up. Its pretty much how I feel right now, after tonight’s unexpected exhilarating run. Very ironic considering how annoying the day started. 24Lift I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I was going to checkout the “24Lift” class at 24-Hour Fitness. My cousin Lauren decided to [...]

Now I know why Michael Phelps eats a gazillion calories (and doesn’t gain any lbs). Swimming makes your famished! Lauren and I wanted to do some cross-training today so my Uncle Rich (who BTW, placed second at the Blackhills Dualthon this past weekend) suggested we go to his gym, 24-Hour Fitness. He had these passes [...]

I had a perfect Labor Day weekend. Why? Because I had no plans, nothing scheduled whatsoever. I didn’t have to worry about being late or people waiting for me (as is usually the case). Everything I did was on my own time, at my own leisure. So relaxing. I only had three things I wanted [...]
