Last night I drove 80 miles south to have dinner with my college friends and to celebrate my friend Gloria’s birthday. Everyone is scattered and living all over Southern California, so the good half way point for everyone was the PF Chang’s restaurant in Carlsbad. (I was just there shopping last week). The drive wasn’t […]
The day started out really foggy. This was how the road looked on my way to meet my friends before the race. I stayed warm before the race wearing this cool sweater from Lululemon (clearance) that has a hole for my ponytail. The hoody stayed in place and kept my head warm. My friends Gaby and […]
Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I am up early today to run at the beach. Oh yes, I am running under the sun, bright and early today at a 10K (hmmm, that rhymes). Today’s forecast calls for mid 70s. This is my second year running at the Redondo Beach Super Bowl Sunday 10K. I love the […]
To keep my workout from being boring, I am always looking for new cardio routines. I’ll try them at the gym and will repeat the ones I love. Currently,I have about four HIIT workouts that I’ve printed and keep in my gym bag. I found a few workouts from a recent Shape magazine, the one where […]
A few weeks ago, I cleaned out a ton of boxes in the garage. I’m trying to sort everything out, clean house and make a dent in organizing all the stuff I’ve kept all these years. I kept my bib from my first half marathon race in Las Vegas. Ever since I found it, I […]

Note from the future: My appetite is definitely back now that I am well into my 2nd trimester. I am still craving salty food. Here’s the journal I wrote about the food I ate during the first few months of pregnancy. I would consider my morning sickness mild, but it was still rough to […]
I hardly make soup for dinner, probably because there is a short window of time when it’s cold here in SoCal and when soup sounds appetizing, and also because I don’t like eating soup leftovers. Well, the first week of January was pretty cold, there was ice on my windshield a few times and consecutive […]
I re-organized my closet and put back only items that I’m currently loving. I noticed that the colors that made it back in the closet had similar color scheme. I am loving neutral colors with lots of blue, grey and stripes. A lot of the tops and bottoms all matches with each other. So even […]
re-committing to writing my “currently” posts weekly. I will look back at these posts years later and really glad that I have some documentation of this stage in life. I was looking at archives from 2 years ago and was a little dissapointed that I hardly wrote about our weekly shenanigans celebrating my birthday […]
Summer is here, or at least that’s how it feels like the last few days. The weather is so beautiful today, and because I am working on a holiday, I feel like am missing out. I should be outside having a picnic or frolicking at the beach. I had a very fun weekend hiking at […]
Here are some of my favorite things lately: Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Bread – I eat this bread toasted and then put half of an avocado on top with a little sprinkling of salt most mornings. I eat half before I workout and then eat the other half with my eggs after working out. […]
In 98 days, I will be running the inaugural Disneyland Tinker Bell Half Marathon. My first and only half marathon race so far was in December 2009 at the inaugural Rock N Roll Las Vegas. I wanted to stay local this time around. I couldn’t be more excited to be training for a race that […]
My nephew Jonah is now a 1-year-old big boy. He had a party and we celebrated Sesame Street style. The birthday boy was in a celebratory mood. Look at how happy he looks here 🙂 We all signed a huge birthday card for him….something he can read and enjoy once he is old enough to […]
