In the next two weeks, look forward to the following posts:

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.

My Path to Pilates
The last year I’ve integrated more yoga into my routine, doing 1-3 classes regularly per week. I’ve embraced vinyasa flow, power yoga, hatha yoga. I think I’m about 5 years past when it was “white hot” – you know the days I’m talking about. When classes were filled with 60 [...]

It’s 2010 and everyone is filled with the best of intentions: I will work out every day, and I will like it. I will be nicer to my sister. I will put all my effort into my work. I will surround myself with positive people and produce only optimism. Oh, and perhaps the most popular, [...]
The Runner’s High and Playlist

Run hard. I believe that wholeheartedly. I make a rule never to run less than 4 miles. I honestly think it’s a waste of time because usually my body is still ramping up between mile 3 and 4, so why stop then? I don’t believe you get the full benefit of a run unless [...]

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 my [...]
The Pad Studios – A Retreat for Mind, Body, Spirit for Active People

Like any San Francisco local, I often have a tough time balancing all the activities in a given day. There’s work, play and then you’re supposed to find time and motivation to try and stay Pao Fit and work out? Between the limited free-time in a 24 hour period and the infamous SF cold that [...]
