    Oh my gosh, SF has the greatest food in the world. I wish I could remember the name of the place where I used to get my Indian food when I lived in the city but I completely forget. I know it’s in The Mission though!

    Good luck! You are going to kill this race!

    I walked the bridge once and it was wonderful! My favorite place in SF to eat is Cha Cha Cha – a Spanish/Mexican/Cuban place with the best sangria and quesadillas!

    YAY for San Fran! I can’t wait. I can’t possibly pick just one favorite food memory from SF. I have been there so many times and every time is just as delicious as the last!!

    SF is the BEST! I live about an hour from there. I LOVE going to little hole-in-the-wall type places off the embarcadero. Have a wonderful time!

    TARTINE! http://www.tartinebakery.com/ It is probably two miles at the most from Union Square… a simple run, a longer walk, or take the “F” streetcar on Market Street (it’s above ground the whole way) and then walk down Guerrero to 16th Street.

    I took nutrition and love reading your mini nutrition quizzes! So fun :) Hah, I am a nerd!
    I am currently tapering right now, and I am focusing on my mindset and continuing to think positive about the race! My parents used to live in SF before I was born, but I’ve never been. Have fun!

    You are going to have an amazing race this weekend. Be aware: at the start in the city, it can get warm, but you’ll make a turn into the Presidio after you see the GG Bridge and the temps dropped last year. Have a layer you can wrap around your waist to take on and off if you need to.

    You’re going to do great! Enjoy it – there is lots to do. I’ll be at the Run Like a Mother talk in the center of the expo at 9:30am on Saturday.

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety. 

[image: a photo I snapped to send to my mom of my naturally red palm holding my Rx on the first day I took it]
This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
