This is a school in San Fransisco. Probably a preschool–those are children riding their bikes on the roof. I liked the idea of using the entire building space. The roof looked like a lovely place to play with plants and a great view.
Taking a short break from reading to blog. One can only read for so many hours.
Stepped up my workouts at the gym. I was getting bored. Now, I do 20 min on the Elliptical trainer, then lift weights: the key is, though, that I lift two sets of weights for a specific target spot, ie: squats, then I race to the bike and to 1 1/2 min hard cardio. Then I race to my next weight machine. So after each 2 set of weights, I do a hard, quick cardio. It is a much better workout and not so boring. So, for those very few folks that might actually be interested, this is an overview of my weekly workouts: 3 mornings weights and cardio at gym (1h)
2 mornings 1/2 hour run (hills)
1 morning an hour spin class.
1 powerhike/ week.
1 home yoga class after run (20 min)
This doesn’t include all fun sports I do with the family: pool swim, beach swim, walk dog, tennis etc. And this is my summer schedule. Winter includes skating and skiing and no tennis.
Family pictures yesterday were extra fun as we posed for a goofy set and a normal set. Our goofy set included horn-rimmed glasses and fake gnarly teeth on each of us (even little Pip!) I couldn’t quit laughing for the photo shoot–man were we an UGLY bunch! The photographer got a kick out of us too. We brought Fernando–no fake teeth for him though. The picks were outside on the beach and in a park.
Mist’s big Shakespearean debut as a fairy in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is this Thursday. I can hardly wait to apply her fairy makeup. They’ll perform 4 shows over 3 days.
