Yesterday my husband and I both thought a morning swim would be a fantastic idea, so after Bill (the turkey) went into the oven, we drove to the pool. We had hoped we’d be late enough that the crowds would already be doing meal preparation but we were wrong. We filled out a lane with [...]

Colomitos

We’re on our flight home from Mexico and the pilot just informed us that it’s 60 degrees in SF. I’m already dreaming of the warm water and heat we left just a few hours ago! We opted to stay close to home and spend the past couple of days at Colomitos beach again. We found [...]

Yesterday, our morning began with tea & coffee, left outside our door by the wonderful host at Casa la Ventana. We went upstairs to the open-air common area to eat fresh tamales as the sun rose over the lush green mountains. Boca de Tomatlan is in a valley, cut in half by a river that [...]

Everyone woke up before me this morning and the girls already had a hiking plan in the works by the time I saw the messages on my phone. With just enough time to fill my water bottle and eat an apricot, I grabbed my sunscreen and raced out the front door to wait for KM and [...]
Dipsea hike

I just read that the Dipsea trail begins with 688 steps, split into three staircases. Today’s hike took us up all of those steps, then a couple miles further. Hiking was a really nice change from the triathlon-specific training I’ve been doing lately and I loved catching up with a friend I hadn’t seen in [...]
summer hike

I meant to switch yesterday’s workout with today’s since I did my long run yesterday. However, I arrived to find the pool closed for it’s yearly deep clean and was planning to meet a friend for a hike so my short run was skipped entirely. I drove north and met my friend at Tutti Melon [...]

I am somewhere between San Francisco and Kyoto, returning from my eleven-day honeymoon in Japan. The sun is rising quickly and night was very short. Plus, we left at 5pm and will arrive home at 11am- still on Tuesday! I have basically been away from home for a month and am ready to sleep in [...]
wedding dress & a hike
Posted in hike, swim on July 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I have been asked more than once during this week if I think I’ll still fit into my wedding dress after this week of good eating. It’s not a thought that has occurred to me over the entire year since I bought the dress but now I’m just a tad bit paranoid. Not really, [...]
the best mother’s day ever

I am so addicted to this sport! It’s definitely my new favorite way to start the day… especially when it’s followed by shave ice, like it was today! The picture to the left is Mom’s club- the Keala Canoe Club. Most of them are regulars and they paddle four times a week. They’re nice [...]

I awoke to another gorgeous Colorado morning and decided the day called for a hike. We did the Mt. Sanitas loop, which is supposedly just over 3 miles but felt much longer! Between the red mud, ice and loosing the trail a few times, the hike was an adventure and we were definitely in the [...]
