A number of friends have asked both Jacki and I about the Kauai trip. Where did we go? What part of the island did we stay on? What did we Pao Chow and Pao Sip, and how did we opt to stay Pao Fit with the variety of heart-pumping activities at our disposal? Here are [...]

I’ll be taking a bit of a vaca for the next week to Kauai, and more specifically to the Napali Coast and Hanalei. Despite living on Oahu for three years as a kid, I never took a trip to any of the other islands so I’m excited! SF Tao of Pao will be taking a [...]

In a few short hours, I’ll be heading to one of my favorite places just outside of SF to get appropriately Pao Fit. Break out the car playlist of Twista, Pitbull and Ludacris, grab your favorite beanie and pack a ridiculous outfit…That’s right people – I’m going to Tahoe for the weekend for some spring [...]
I Chase Waterfalls – Part 1 (Seven Falls Hike)
Posted in Hikes, Outdoors, Pao Fit, tagged Climbing, Pao Fit, Waterfall Hikes on February 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I chase new experiences. I chase adventure. I chase my upper limits and seek to fulfill a persistent curiosity for the unknown. And sorry, TLC, I also happen to chase waterfalls. When I delve deep into the multitude of California hikes I’ve enjoyed over the years, my favorite ones always seem to include waterfalls. [...]
Pao Fit Question of the week: Squaw or Kirkwood?
Posted in Outdoors, Pao Fit, tagged Pao Fit, skiing, snowboarding, tahoe on January 15, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Am heading up to Tahoe this weekend for an MLK girls ski/snowboarding trip. I can’t believe it will be my first time ever boarding at Kirkwood but am VERY excited since I hear it is the ideal place for boarders. The last 3.5 years of boarding up north have been spent primarily at Squaw with [...]

You may remember reading the SF Tao of Pao post about the North Face Endurance Challenge in Marin Headlands a month ago (http://sftaoofpao.com/2009/10/28/north-face-endurance-challenge-dec-5th/). Well, my friends, the time finally arrived and yesterday’s 10K option was the kick in the butt I needed to initiate race season. Backdrop for the race? The Marin Headlands, one of [...]
“Lyon” on the Floor after Lyon Street Steps

I’m not a huge fan of doing stair workouts, but I will admit, a good one kicks your a** and is great for building up endurance, punching up your cardiovascular workout, or curing a hangover. Any person who lives in the Marina, Cow Hollow, or even Russian Hill has heard of the challenge/torture device known [...]

Time to ramp up the training. North Face Endurance Challenge will take place on December 5th.

If you know me, you know I love a good challenge. There are multiple [...]
Go Car? More Like No Car!

Go Car? More Like No Car! We’ve all seen them. Those two-person yellow motor GoCars zipping around the city (actually not zipping, more like causing minor traffic jams along the frequented routes like Lombard St.). Some people honk at them. Others laugh and point. I’ve definitely done both. Yet I have to now admit [...]
