Last night was the Foodbuzz dinner gala at the Grand Hall, Ferry Building. Funny to think we were here earlier for the Farmer’s Market and now the place was all “fancied up”. Tina, Anne P. and I were fancied up too :) Chia pet center piece. I love chia seeds, so that’s a compliment ... Read More about Foodbuzz Gala Dinner

Kiss the Fish
Today we went to the Foodbuzz Taste Pavillion. There were tons of tables set up with wine, beer and amazing food. The one vegetable I had today came in the form of a quinoa salad. This chef was super nice, but I didn’t catch his name :) I want S’more Janetha and Holly were ... Read More about Kiss the Fish
A Run to the Farmer’s Market
We started the day with a run before sunrise. I was scared of the hills, but we found a pretty flat route and it was fun. Everyone met in the lobby of the Sir Francis Drake to do about 4 miles. We didn’t get nearly enough sleep, but we were in good spirits. Post run we headed back to the ... Read More about A Run to the Farmer’s Market
RER Does The Foodbuzz Street Food Fair
After some down time in the room it was time to head to the Foodbuzz Street Food Fair. It was held in the Herbst Pavilion in Fort Mason. We arrived right at sunset and it was gorgeous. But, we had to peek over a dirty wall near some dumpsters to get a good picture…. totally worth it :) ... Read More about RER Does The Foodbuzz Street Food Fair
Limo Service in San Francisco
I’m heeeere! A group of us shared a limo to the hotel. Since there were five of us it was the same price as a taxi. Nice. I spotted Meghann as soon as I got to baggage claim. It was nice to see a familiar face straight away. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a limo before! I was super excited! ... Read More about Limo Service in San Francisco
Friday Flight to ‘Frisco
*I remember reading in a travel book years and years ago that locals don’t say “Frisco” in reference to San Francisco. Because of that I never say “Frisco”, but I love a good alliteration, so I made an exception :) Fun fact: I’ve never flown to SF before! Growing up I went there a few times on ...

Too Much Pizza
I was at Starbucks until about 1pm when I decided to break for lunch. But, I didn’t have the car so my options were very limited. I wasn’t feeling a Starbucks egg sandwich, so I decided to go next door and get a big ol’ deli sub from Ralphs. I don’t like doing straight up veggie sandwiches because ...

This morning my cat asked to go outside again.

Too Hot and Too Hilly
I really should have checked the weather report before I got dressed for my run this morning. Long sleeves were a bad call. Right Now Feels Like: 93° Run: I set off in my long sleeves for a tempo run. The goals was to do a 1 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down with 5 tempo miles in the ...

Keep Calm and Carry On
We finally put up my sign in the kitchen :) Today was the best time to put it up too because it’s been crazy over here in Run Eat Repeat land. And yes, in case you’re wondering – that’s how I refer to my house… “Hey, you guys want to come over to run eat repeat land?” Just kidding, I never invite ... Read More about Keep Calm and Carry On

Los Olivos Wine Tour
Hello! I spent the day in Los Olivos with my friend Lisa. But, before I went I did a 10-ish mile run. I’m not sure how much because my Garmin stopped at mile 2. I reset it when I turned around, but I’m not sure the official distance. On the way to meet Lisa I stopped to get scones. Pumpkin Pecan ... Read More about Los Olivos Wine Tour
