Pre-long run shots shots shots shots: Yes, I was up at 6am on a Sunday slurping down a chocolate Clif Shot before a 90 minute run. I have no idea why I felt the need to get THAT early of a start to the day…insanity? Golden Gate Park barely had anyone there & it was […]

So you know I love Kris Carr. After lurking her site quite a bit, I finally bought and quickly read her book, Crazy Sexy Diet. I’m not sure any future diet will ever be able to top that name. Doesn’t it just make you want to get up and do something awesome?! It’s full of positive […]

You are my sunshine

23Aug11

After nearly 3 weeks back home, I had my first sunny morning run in Golden Gate Park! Sometimes, I do love our foggy bubble, but having some light surrounding Kezar stadium for once was pretty nice.
