Catch Up If You Can
On Tuesday morning I met a good friend from college to jog along Shoreline Drive in Alameda. It's a beautiful and bustling trail along the southwestern coast of the island that has breathtaking views of the San Francisco bay. We jog/walked and went about 3 miles in thirty minutes. It was a great catch-up session where I heard all about her new pet sea turtle, her path to buying a home in the Bay Area, and tales of grandbabies and middle management and losing 50 lbs in a year. Incredible! When we said goodbye we agreed to a weekly meeting when the weather is nice. This turned out to be a mini-brick (which means a bike and run workout back-to-back) which is fantastic - and it was oh so fun to see an old friend's face!
This week I'm looking forward to tagging along with Dan for a Thursday morning workout with the Vitruvian club at Lake Merritt *and* Billy and I are also talking about going on a long ride this weekend (somewhere between 40 and 60 miles) so I can barely contain my excitement for that.
It feels so good to be training again. I can feel my body coming back one day at a time.

French Milestone #1
I finally dreamed in French! Yay!
We were on the beach and this huge humpback whale was coming up close to the shore and turning over and for some reason I had an exacto knife. A long narrow part of the whale came crashing down on me so that, for a moment, my world shrunk down to (from the ground up): sand, exacto knife, the left side of my face, the rest of my head, a very heavy whale part. I wasn't scared. Instead, I felt pure shock, followed immediately by complete curiosity. I found a way to relax there and to signal to everyone on the beach that I was alright. It wasn't long before I was in front of a mirror in a nearby beach house putting the finishing touches on my white linen outfit. Tim Kelly from Bring It Promotions came in to announce the details of our evening outing (French reality TV show style). Haha - so weird!
It's such a relief that this milestone has been reached. Dream in French. Check. :)
