Team in Training

I have gone and done it. I have signed up to run a marathon. Why you ask? I am quite sure I will be asking that same question in about three months. But for now here is my reasoning.

1. I have always wanted to.
2. I am an able bodied (well most of the time) human being with a desire to push myself out of my box.
3. I looove to run.
4. Since my foot and knee finally feel pretty good (after a long recovery from foot surgery) I figure why not.
5. BY joining Team in Training I will be able to raise money for people living with blood cancers and I think that is the best reason of all. 

I will be  blogging about my experience here and on my vox blog so check back often and cheer me on, shake your head in disbelief, feel my pain after the long run of 22 miles and donate money to the LLS because it's a really good cause. Here is the link

And if you are in San Francisco the weekend of October 18 this year come out and wave at me as I fly by with a  smile on my face. :)

Panama Day 5-Howard

This was the most surreal hour and a half of the whole trip. We made our way out to Howard Air Force Base (which is no longer an AFB) and found our old house. Just looking at the photos I get emotional all over again. Not that I broke down crying or anything but it was really weird standing in a place that holds so many memories.  Here is me freaking out that we found it!!! Our old Street! Coffey Avenue! Exploring the old digs!  This stairwell led up to the door in the kitchen. It was a little creepy so I just filmed from where I was.  :-/ I don't do creepy. Here we are in front of 60A Coffey Ave!    That "hill" behind my mom seemed so much bigger when we lived there. I remember my dog running down it and tripping, which led to a head over heels tumble that still makes me laugh when I think of it. And that fence used to be a favorite spot for three toed sloths to hang out.  ...

Inspired

I live in an amazing city. I am constantly people watching and I find the style and the unique expression of that style so fascinating. I decided it was time to start playing with my style more. Not only in my fashion choices but in my hairstyle as well. I have always felt a little schizophrenic in my style, but I always try to have a little fun with it. As most fashionistas I wake up and decide who I want to be and how I want to express that person each and every morning. Today I am feeling low key and comfy as I run out to do some errands in the city. Take a look and let me know what you think. I will start posting daily outfits just for fun.

Coat Week-Day 7

Well I missed a few days even though I had these in the can. Ooops. Here is Day 7 of Coat Week and I saved the best for last. I think this is by far my most favorite coat. I love the color, I love the shape and details. I got it here in New York a few years ago from Banana. It was on sale and I have never regretted spending that money. I wear it all the time. It hasn't aged at all and neither has my love for it. What do you think? Coat-Banana Republic, Top-F21, Sweater-UO,Jeans-Uniglo, Boots-Wild Diva
