5-miler

5 milesI went for my weekly Long Run this morning.  This week it was 5 miles and I did it while pushing Kumquat in the stroller.

IMG_3883Here’s the turn-around point.

IMG_3884The first 4 miles felt pretty good but the last mile was a little tough.  I know that’s how it’s supposed to be but I wasn’t sure if my legs and arms were tired or if it was the wind was making it feel that way.  Regardless, I finished.  Phew.

Summer in San Francisco

IMG_7639By the time Kumquat is old enough to appreciate it, we will likely be living somewhere outside of San Francisco.  I’ve always said that going to the Farmer’s Market at the Ferry Plaza on Saturday morning is my favorite thing to do in the city but now it’s even more fun with my little girl.  I hope that we’ll still be able to do this once in a while when she’s older.

IMG_7636Also, now that she’s walking, it’s fun to see her explore the walkway.  I always thought the anti-skateboarding animals were cute and Kumquat agreed.  She even tried to give one of the turtles a kiss.

IMG_3870It’s also summer and fruit is abundant.  We go through so much produce every week and I’m loving all the pluots, peaches, nectarines, plums, blueberries, and grapes.  Take a look at these pluots!  They’re so pretty and oh so yummy too.  Kumquat likes snacking on all the samples too.  By the time we leave the stalls, she’s covered in stickiness from the juice all over her hands and face.

IMG_3877This morning, I also picked up an open-faced lox sandwich for lunch.  It was the perfect treat and Kumquat enjoyed the pickled onions and fresh tomato too.
