Shoutout from SanFran!

So psyched, it's finally summer!
By which I mean, it's so ridiculously hot! Trying to stay disciplined and in shape, I attempted to wake up early early (omg 6am!) every day to go for a run at the state park behind our house - mostly because by 9am, it'd already be blazing hot. One morning I woke up at 10am. I decided to go for a run anyways. I almost got heatstroke. I could almost hear Amelia yelling, "No stupid injuries!"

I also accompanied my family to the gym (supposedly this has become a thing ever since I left for college...) and naturally, headed straight to the erg (I don't know how to use anything else in that place, the shiny metal contraptions all look like they want to fall on me!), rowed a solid piece, and then taught my family, who all tried it and then asked "why would you ever WANT to do this? This sucks!"

There's no shortage of fun ways to workout here. Runs are so scenic - I visited Lombard Street, Coit Tower, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, and got a great view of Alcatraz, all in one morning's run! I joined a dance studio, and am taking classes (hip-hop and breakdance so far, and no I will not demonstrate.) My roommate (who swims for MIT) and I do insanity in the mornings before we head to work, which is a pretty great way to start the day. So of course to cancel out all the exercise, I've been exploring all the good food and gelato in SF, of which there is no shortage. Nommmm. Have I mentioned my most recent find, Sushirrito? (mind-blowing!)

How's everyone else's summer going? Stay psyched!
