I wanted to keep it easy and simple for a Friday. I’m going to share some recent photos and exciting things.
I’ve been rocking some new kicks recently. I’ve logged a single run (5 miles) and am looking forward to more. They are the new Saucony Virrata shoes (with a zero drop). “Our lightest and most flexible training shoe and allows your foot to move naturally.” I’m used to stability shoes, so this is something new for me that I will have to transition into, but I was able to log an easy 5 comfortably in them. More to come.
I’m having fun creating images for @RunThisYear — the brain-child of Tiffany and I in hoping to run 2,013 miles in 2013. We are two months in and a LOOOOONG way to go. Literally. Check it out on Twitter and Instagram for more photos and inspiration.
Having coffee with new and favorite friends. I met twitter pal Andie on her recent visit to SF and enjoyed a cup of Phillz with running friend Renee. By the time this photo was taken I had already finished mine. I also find humor that a photo with three runners has a sign that reads “SPEEDWAY” in the background.
Having coffee with new friends AND doing something silly. I met up with Christine on her recent trip to SF and we chatted over a cup of Blue Bottle Coffee. There seems to be a coffee-drinking trend with friends that visit with me in the city… just saying. Afterwards, we decided to do something silly and pose for some spontaneous yoga poses. Christine is a rock star with yoga (see her on Instagram) and we are both in jeans… i know, the rocket totally photo bombed us.
This was a complete surprise to me. I received a couple tweets that I had been mentioned in an online article on Men’s Health and I was shocked to see the sentence that mentioned me. Am I in the same sentence as Dean Karnazes? Say what? Check out Pavement Runner… and Dean Karnazes… Totally cool. Hey Dean, looks like we are representing the Bay Area.
Sorry for the watermark… this will be common on future First Lady images.
And finally, I can’t get over how amazing it is to finish a race and see this happy little face. Any fatigue or pain you may have suffered over a race is immediately replaced with pure joy and happiness. And in this case, the joy from after an amazing race is multiplied when you get to celebrate it with the person that has your heart wrapped around her little finger. Ok. This may be more true FOR me, but it’s my blog, so I’m sharing it.
I posted Playlist Thursday kind of late, but here it is: SONGS BY DUDES!
What are some exciting things going on with you?
Weekend plans?

I was just in San Francisco for my first visit! I loved it!
First Lady is adorable. And, I bet, a wonderful, reenergizing face to see at the finish line!
She’s such a cutie!! What a sweet picture. Ummm, that’s a pretty cool mention in Men’s Health. Can I know say that I know a famous runner? Obviously, coffee is a must. Rocket totally photo-bombed us (sneaky thing) and next meet-up in NYC?
What a beautiful first lady you have there!! The way the article is written it looks like you and Dean are buddies!! That’s awesome!…and love the yoga pose!
If I get to SF sometime soon, you know we will be having coffee and doing yoga in jeans too, right? :)
Awesome about Men’s Health mention! woohoo!
you’ve been posting some seriously fun pics on instagram, love the challenge
Coffee is a must, especially in San Francisco. Everything is cooler is San Francisco. Just saying!
you saved the best picture for last! love it! and LOVE all the pictures… badass
AH!! She’s SO adorable!!!! Weekend plans?? Trivia night tonight for my school’s fundraiser & family dinner at an awesome restaurant tomorrow cuz the little bro is in town – woot woot!
Who’s dude, you’re famous! Will that mean you’ll still dress up with us at the Disneyland race weekend? Lol
I can’t wait for our #FUFACE picture…together, in person!
LOVE Christine!!! She’s coming to Blend – you should too actually.
How adorable is she!? I had no idea you were behind Run 2013. I think I may have much farther to go than you in meeting that goal. I have a lot of races, but I think I’ll probably only crack 1,000 miles. It’s been a slow winter! And congrats on the shoutout in Men’s Health!
I’m in Vegas for the weekend visiting friends and enjoying a nice break from the cold greyness of seattle…yay sunshine!
You are FAMOUS – how amazing to be in that article with Dean. He’s a runner on my list I’d LOVE to meet someday.
You’re famous! Awesome mention- congrats! I’m glad the first lady made it into Friday photos. She’s as adorable as ever!
I love your pics, and the First Lady is absolutely adorable. I hope I can get B to the finish line at one of my races someday soon.
Woo hoo! Nice mention in Men’s Health! I do find your blog AWESOME for anything SFO related :)
This weekend was a nice long run pushing my pace and working until midnight… boo. But Sun hopefully I get to go to Busch Gardens (if it’s not too cold). And we are bbq’ing salmon and veggies for the week! Low key
most favorite paragraph was definitely the last one!! i could actually picture that in my mind & what a beautiful thing!! that is awesome :] children do change how we see & do everything #trulyblessed
