Two Weeks!
Hi Friends!
I can't believe the SAKW is only two weeks away! I'm settling into San Francisco and joined the Embarcadero YMCA swim team this week. My swim work outs will focus on long swims with bursts of speed built in while my out-of-the-water routine will be filled with short runs and multiple sets of light weights.
I had a perfect Saturday morning that started with a long swim at the Y and then a walk around the HUGE farmer's market at the Ferry Building. I couldn't believe all the fresh produce, flowers, bread, cakes and coffee!
I picked up some things that will help in my strict race diet of whole grains, fresh fruits and veggies and lean meat. Thank goodness for San Francisco's love of fresh, local food! Crunch time! Ahh!!

San Francisco!
Hi Friends!
I made it to San Francisco! I landed in SF and my dad picked me up from the airport, we drove straight into the city, checked out my sublet for the summer in Nob Hill (awesome!), then headed down to Fisherman's Warf for some seafood (yum!). On Sunday we picked up some things at Target then made our way to Half Moon Bay and enjoyed a nice sunny day at the beach.
Then I made my way to my friend Jen's place where I'm crashing until I can move into my sublet (thanks Jen!). Today I joined the Embarcadero YMCA which has an awesome 25 meter pool which I took a nice long swim in. I can't believe the race is so close and I'm definitely going to be doing two-a-day practices from here on out! Tomorrow my real life in SF starts with my first day of work! Ahhhh!

Changes
Hi Friends!
Goodness. LOTS of changes going on right now. GOOD changes. One week from today I will be moving to San Francisco to embark on a very exciting new opportunity! Woohoo! It's all very exciting and because of the tight timing I'm trying to take care of all the details in a pretty short amount of time. I'm trying my best to stay positive and not get too overwhelmed because I know this is a very good thing. It's still so crazy!!
But, have no fear, my #1 priority right now is training. A new $20/month (for real!) gym just opened down the street from my and since I'm not working, my daily routine has been gym, pool, pack, sleep, repeat. If you live in the Allston/Brighton area, check out GymIt.
