My San Francisco Lifestyle
Hi there! For those in the San Francisco area, please join us for the Nike Union Street Store opening and festivities! Sooo excited for the opening of this totally cool new vibe coming to the Marina. So many fun Nike Training Clubs, run clubs, yoga, you name it! Would love to link up with those who can attend. Sign up at gonike.me/unionstreet.
See you there!!
Hi loves! Sorry for my lack of posts lately, I have been a busy bee! New beginnings, change and exciting transitions are a good thing, right? Anyways, I do have some exciting news. Well two things, fitness related. First off, I placed 10th overall in the Napa to Sonoma 5k this weekend! 7th place female! It’s so exciting to make progress! If you follow my Facebook page, I talk about progress all the time. Little progress is better than no progress at all! Shaving time off my runs, seeing huge changes in my body and feeling overall very happy! Doesn’t get better than that. š
This course was absolutely beautiful! I regret not running the half marathon, but will next year! People come from all over to visit the wine country which happens to be my home town. It’s really eye opening to return and realize how beautiful it really is! I may be a city girl, but Sonoma will always have my heart. š
Ā Such a fun event!! They had tons of wine tasting after and I saw a cute shirt that pretty much sums is up:
“Run a lit, Wine a lot”. š
Next goal…maybe top 5? Hmmm… š
Exciting News #2- Sooooo, I sat down with a girlfriend of mine the other night who happens to be a photographer. We chatted a little bit about my fitness goals and you know what I realized? I don’t have one! So with that said I have decided that I really want to do a fitness photo shoot in 3-4 months!!!! I am so nervous to announce that and have been majorly doubting myself but after talking to others about it, why the heck not?! I need a goal, why not make it a big one. To be photo shoot ready to me, means getting in the best physical shape I have ever been. BUT doing it all on my own. Not using a nutritionist or trainer, but being my own motivation. I want to share the journey with you guys and see how I progress. Why the heck not, right? So I have yet to set a date, and SO nervous to commit but with this post, I think I just committed!! YIKES. I will need to believe in myself more than I ever have before! So stay tuned peeps!
Find your passion and the sky’s the limit! xoxo
Happy Friday! Hope you all had a great week! Ā It’s a never-ending battle with me to get my portions correct, so I thought this chart would be a huge help not only to you guys, but myself included. Ā These portions look teeny tiny but keep in mind you should be eating 5-6 small meals a day! This is a HUGE issue when going out to restaurants. Most places load up the portions, leaving you the option to finish the whole thing. My personal advice: take half home with you! No need to be overly stuffed. This will only eliminate the “6 meals a day” theory.
So keep it small. Keep it simple and enjoy!

Do you guys think that our portions are too large here in America compared to other countries?

Hope everyone had a fab weekend! I have a ton of exciting stuff coming up which I am DYING to share with you! But…still working out the kinks so I will update soon as to new companies and events I will be associated with!
In the mean time…check out:
FITzeefoods.com – An AMAZING company that ships HEALTHY meals to your door! I was weary about the idea of pre-packaged food at first, but after I tried the food and read more about the company, this place is in the know and I am obsessed! Their mission to provide healthy food to on-the-go people had me, then I tried the food and was in heaven. Tastes like nothing I have tried before. More to come about FITzee. š
and
Live Ultimate RUN San Francisco – looking for a 5k or quarter marathon in San Francisco? Join me June 30th!!
I totally went out on a limb this weekend. My friend invited me to join her running group, Run 365, for a 12 mile run! Yes, 12 miles. Holy cow I have not run that far in a long time! I was super nervous and honestly didn’t think I would make it. (Thank you for all the encouragement on the Facebook page!!) But…we made it! Finished at a 9:30 pace, which was one pace group ahead of ours. I couldn’t believe it, especially since I havent been running at all and spend all my time lifting. I guess lifting pays off! So what has this taught me? That my friend can successfully convince me to run a full marathon. Perhaps this year. And the saying mind over matter holds true! Running with a friend completely changes the way your mind works. We chatted the whole run and the time flew by! From this day forward, I will continue to run with a partner and not hold back or be intimidated by a huge task. Anything is possible and who knows, maybe there will be a full marathon in my future? š
Check out Run 365 for a training team in the Bay Area, encouragement and a fun group to run with!
After my new-found, or should I say, again-found, interest in running, I entered the drawing to run the Nike Women’s Marathon San Francisco! Fingers crossed I get picked to run for my 3rd year in a row! Nike puts on an amazing event, and I sure hope I don’t miss it! But…I couldn’t commit to the full just quite yet…I think I need more time to sink in the fact that I would be running 26 miles! To enter into the random drawing follow this link.
Have you rekindled a long-lost passion lately? If so tell us about it! š
Thanks for reading!!
Ā We had an absolute blast this past weekend at the Emerald Across the Bay 12k. Celebrating St. Patty’sĀ with beautiful weather, gorgeous views and an 8 mile run is pure bliss. Being its 30th year running and with over 4,000 participants, I would have to say this is my favorite race I have been a part of. Starting off in Sausalito, running across the Golden Gate bridge and ending in San Francisco’s Aquatic Park, made up for the nasty 250 foot climb in the first 2 miles. I was barely prepared for the run, but the excitement took over.

It was my pleasure to be put in charge of our sponsorship events for Diamond Foods (Emerald) and this was my first event of many. I think I have a new passion for event planning…especially when it’s in the fitness realm.
