well hello gorgeous (said in the voice of barbara streisand)

i have to make an apology to my beautiful san francisco. i have been a bit whiny these past few days about the cold, wind and fog.  while the rest of the country sweats, we shiver. but i am reminded today, on this friday, that we got it good here in sf.
i started the day with my 8:30 am kick your ass trx class. for the first time i was able to do a side plank in the suspension trainer while raising my arm to the sky. to most this seems nothing but to me i felt like a professional athlete. when i started at trx 3 months ago i could barely able to do a side plank with both feet on the floor.  it was a super challenging class with lots of guys grunting and sweating equally as much as me. we shared the pain and got through it together. super cool. i love the variety of fitness things you can do in this city.  with that thought i headed out the door and prepared for the next task of the day - work.
woo hoo - client cancelled. ok, not woo hooo but heck it's friday and i have some free time. what to do? 10,000 steps out to the bridge and back. thankfully being a local i was already dressed appropriately - down jacket, hood, sunglasses. it is here that i was really reminded how cool this city is. of course tons of tourists out, all wearing recently purchased sf sweatshirts, jackets, windbreakers, taking photos of the magnificent views. yes there was fog but with my cozy layers i felt perfect. how cool to walk along the beach, dog walkers out with every kind of dog possible while watching ocean liners head out to sea. ah-may-zing! on the way back from the bridge i stopped in to check out the various businesses that have opened in the huge hangar buildings - indoor pool for children (damn kids, i want to swim in the warm pool), the tramploine business and a climbing gym...oh yes, and a "warming hut. of course i had to support the local business and purchased a steaming cup of coffee.
this city ROCKS. i just need to figure out a way to invite the sun to join us for the weekend.
happy friday.
