#735: Yappy Hour At Internos.
Ya know those friends you don’t see for a while, but it’s like yesterday when you catch up? Keren and I picked up like it was just yesterday when we were sitting on the sand with margaritas in Cabo San Lucas. The topics of conversation ranged from boyfriend woes to freelancing gigs to doggie troubles. Three hours, one quattro formaggi pizza and a bottle of delish robust wine later, it turns out, there was one thing we both were missing…
#725: Y You Should Visit The SD Y.
Why visit the YMCA? It’s cheaper with a no-hidden-fees style membership. Has all the amenities anyone really needs. You won’t find too many fake or high-maintenance patrons or over zealous personal trainers. There’s free extra classes and surprisingly cute guys. And the pool will rival the best of ’em.

#Off-Road on Mt. Tam, Run a Race Up The Mountain.
It’s a week after the 10K Table Rock Trail Run at Mt. Tamalpais, and my legs still feel like jelly. Little did I know when I ambitiously signed up that Mt. Tam is unforgiving to soles, calves, sunshine, WiFi connections and apathetic runners. It’s an all or nothing course with a 2,000 foot slope to climb to get to the top of the mountain. Marin County’s Mount Tamalpais has been ground zero for biking, hiking and running ever since…
