Community College Jogging

Last night was my first running class at my local community college. Fitness Jogging. I showed up on accident a half hour early. Oppsies. I got to talk to our coach though, she is really nice and totally hot to boot. I am really excited to have her because she is really into the class. I'm even excited for our homework assignments.

After roll call (just like a real class) we started out with a warmup jog - 800m. Then we moved onto some drills. Which were totally crazy, who ever invented the inchworm needs to be shot.

By that point I was already tired, and we hadn't even started the actual workout.

A small group of us moved on to our timed mile because we weren't able to do it the first week. I finished mine in 12:05. I totally beat the two boys who ran with me. They both went out hard out of the gate but I caught up after the first 800 (not that it really matters).

I would take pictures of me but there is a rule about camera phones at the pool or on the track. I'm only in week two and don't want to get tossed out yet!

Is Wine Paleo?

I vote yes. Wine is most definitely Paleo (thanks Lindsay).Wine = grapes, grapes = paleo therefore, wine = paleo.

You
are
welcome.

This weekend I took an impromptu trip to Sonoma. My sister manages a freaking gorgeous mid century house that rents for 500$ a night, and it required an emergency visit. Who am I to turn down a perfectly good weekend in wine country?

I am not a big wino. I typically can only enjoy champagne or sparkling wines, or whites. Never ever red. EVER.

We stopped by Homewood Winery and boy was this wine was different. I tasted this wonderful wine and I loved it. I was a skeptic. I am a beliver now. A red wine convert. Or at the very least a Homewood red wine girl. I got myself a big glass of the Wizbanger's special (Flying Wizzbangers). My sister bought a case of it (she even gave me a bottle to take home). We even chatted with the head Wizzbanger himself.

Trivia Fact #1. The Wizzbangers (I forgot his name) college team (volleyball or something?) was called the Flying Wizzbangers. So when he first named the wine that he sent bottles to his whole team.

Me drinking a whole glass by myself, thankyouverymuch.

Then we took an impromptu trip off our impromptu trip and headed over to Domaine Carneros Winery. They have this big chateau looking estate, where you can enjoy sparkling wine, wine and appetizers outside on their patio overlooking wine country. It was really nice but still very laid back at the same time. Our waiter Al, was so sweet and friendly. He even poured us a special glass of champagne that wasn't even on the menu! He also got off before we were done and we invited him to come back and chat with us. He did - and enjoyed a glass of wine with us.

Triva Fact #2. Always ask your wine person is they have anything special you can try. Al gave us that little gem of information. It can't hurt to ask right?

Smoked Salmon

Red Wine "hard" Cheeses

Stay tuned for next week when I find out if Pies can be made Paleo. I think I should do a series... ;)

What a Sore Person should do on the Weekend

Lay in bed with their kitten of course!!



Tipsy is quite the rambunctious little ball of fur at night. Sometimes it is so annoying at 2 am I hear her run back and forth sliding in her crinkle tube. By 8 am when I usually wake she still sleepy from the night before.

She has gotten in the habit lately of sleeping with one of her babies. The little crinkle or feather toys. She licks and crunkles to her little hearts delight when she goes to sleep at night. It's very cute.

I spent half the morning just lounging in bed with the kitten. I was way too sore to get up and do any sort of exercise. I think I have delayed cross fit aches. That 30 minutes on Friday kicked my ass.

Now I'm on the Bart into SF there's a giants game today so it's totally packed. I'm going to go try and walk around SF.


I'm determined not to waste a wonderful (still kindof hot) Saturday just because I'm sore.
