Week 5: Cleaning Up the Damage From Tropical Storm Angie

I tore through Kauai like the Hungry Little Caterpillar on Saturday, eating my way through way too many delicious Hawaiian treats.

And like the caterpillar, after it was all over, I had a stomachache.

Week 3: Running for Sienna

Body Backers past and present showing their support for a great project.

Last weekend my family and I had the opportunity to be part of something really special.

Some of my amazing Body Back friends invited us to participate in a 5K at Mission Bay to raise money for Sienna's Play Garden. The Rancho Penasquitos playground revitalization project was started by the family of a little girl named Sienna who passed away unexpectedly in 2012 at just 16 months.

It was heart-warming to see the more than 500 people who came to show their support for the family.

Before the race started, a woman stood up to address the crowd and I heard someone whisper, "Is that the mom?"

Running, Eating and Drinking Our Way Across San Francisco

Just got back from the Bay to Breakers 12K (7.46 mile) run in San Francisco. I haven't eaten so much, drank so heavily or laughed so hard in a long time.

This was my first ever travel run and I hadn't been to SF in years, so I was super excited and ready to make a fun weekend out of it!

Mini Raw Challenge, Bay to Breakers Bound

I've been waiting for the right time to kick off my week-long raw food challenge and fun stuff just keeps getting in the way. But I got really excited about it, so I decided to do a 3-day challenge.

Kate and I had planned to go to Vegan Beer night at Sea Rocket Bistro in South Park, so I ate raw from Monday to Thursday night.

On Thursday I felt amazing! I had tons of energy, my mind was clearer, my clothes were fitting looser. It was great!
