After spending the afternoon with my daughters selling lemonade on the Burke Gilman trail, I was given permission to go and do a quick brick workout. My plan was 1 hour of cycling, followed by 30 minutes of running. I figured I’d get about 18 miles and 4 miles.

In a fit of “what the heck”, I decided to ride my fixed gear bike, in FIXED mode. Maybe it was the weekend in San Francisco… although I really only saw about 6 fixies in the mother of all fixie towns… I guess it was just walking around SF all geeked out on the idea that I might see a bad ass fixie skidding down one of those gnarly hills. Never did, so I never got my fixie fix… so I had to do my best to give myself my own fixie fix.

San Francisco - Ferry Terminal - EmbarcaderoWe had a nice final day in San Francisco on Saturday. We gave ourselves about 3 hours of wandering around the city just enjoying the urban landscape as two adults. We didn’t bring the kids along on this trip as it was sort of an anniversary gift to ourselves.

We love our kids, of course, and at 5 and 7 years old, they’re pretty good travelers… but hours in museums and walking around a big city aimlessly taking in whatever catches your eye is not always that enjoyable for kids. So we opted to leave them at home with the Grandparents. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their respective weekends.

After lots of walking, visiting the MOMA, and watching my wife shop (I’m not a fan of shopping, but I believe in the 3 little words rule to a happy marriage “she’s always right”)… my wife decided it was time for me to go back to the hotel “and workout”… ah… that sounds good.

Actually I did a little work (you all want new features right?) and then hit the fitness center.

I did 30 minutes on the LifeFitness LifeCycle… and then 30 minutes of strength training. Phew… it was short, but a good workout and tiring considering I had spent the day walking around San Francisco.

Off to dinner with our good friends Philip and his wife.
