Running - Crissy Field

Garmin Connect - Activity Details for Crissy Field

Distance: 8.01 km
Elevation Gain: 200 m

Time: 00:34:44
Avg Pace: 04:20 min/km

There was pretty big waves underneath the golden gate, and I could see a couple of surfers.




It rains, it rains, it rains... but we still eat

It has been raining for the last 10 days, therefore no biking outside. I have been mostly biking indoor at my company's gym.

However, I am still biking everyday to work and my office is becoming a laundry room and I have to use the hair dryer to dry my socks every morning... I can't wait for the end of the rain season, even though I must admin it is quite fun to bike in the rain.


Mai Ly also made some new recipes to keep us warm during this season

Tarte Tatin:

Fish Soup (I can't believe she actually did it. I had mentioned it as a joke a few days earlier)

Croque Monsieurs (I made them)

Boeuf bourguignon (I think that was my favorite):

Blanquette de veau:

We had a Raclette yesterday but I forgot to take pictures... We have a lot of left over so stay tuned.

Have a good week end.

Pretty good ride today at lunch time. We made a good average speed of 30.7km/h. Legs are getting stronger.

Garmin Connect - Activity Details for Triple short climb

I did not go for a long ride today. Rather I went for an 1 hour and half up and down ride right on the other side of the Golden Gate.

Week end is almost over... back to work tomorrow.

I got a mountain bike!


My friend Arbi found a good deal for a large Enduro SL Pro Carbon mountain bike on craigslist. I could not resist and bought it yesterday! This is an awesome bike, full carbon, even the wheels. I just need new pedals and shoes and I will be ready to ride the trails of Marin.

Happy sunday.

Eating - Cauliflower gratin and fresh sol

We got caught by the rain...
Tomorrow is my boxing class (good for cardio) and bike ride on Sunday. I am watching "Les triplette de Belle ville" right now, it's part of the training :)
