Today I was suppose to run the Virgin Sport SF Bay Half Marathon, but unfortunately it got cancelled due to the wildfires in the Bay area and the unhealthy air quality that has taken over SF this week. It’s not easy to accept that something you worked so hard for isn’t going to happen. The half … More When things don’t go to plan + week 6 of marathon training
Another solid week of running. One special highlight was doing THREE yoga sessions this week. First was on Wednesday with Anna. We did Yoga to the People which is an organization that offers donation-based yoga classes in the Mission. They’re pretty laid back and let you go at your own pace. I think we’ll be … More My theme this marathon cycle + lots of yoga + week 3 of training
I’ve shared on this blog a lot about my travelling adventures as a consultant, but truth be told, 90% of the time I’m working remotely. I’m blessed to have a job where for the most part I can work from anywhere: the SF office, my apartment, my parents house…it gives me great flexibility but also … More A day in the life as a remote consultant
Wow, is all I can say. My first days in SF have been everything I thought it would be, and more. I don’t know how I got so lucky, and I am just so beyond happy to be here and to start my new live in this beautiful city. I flew in on Saturday night. By 11am … More How did I get so lucky…first days in SF!
Gonna keep this short and sweet with mostly photos, or else this will be a word dump of me being sentimental. I’m so grateful for every wonderful moment from this past week and to be leaving NYC on such a high note. Next time I blog I’ll be a San Francisco resident!!! Sunset picnic with Michelle … More Last moments in NYC
I’m so excited to share that I will be moving to San Francisco at the end of May!!! This is incredibly bittersweet to share to everyone. It was somewhat of a looooong journey to get to this point, but I could not be more excited and ready to start a new chapter of my life … More I have some pretty BIG news…
One of my biggest struggles is balancing priorities. Between making a good impression at work, seeing my friends, training for 2 marathons a year, and on top of that studying for my actuarial exams (each sitting requires 300-500 hours of study!), sometimes I question if I can do it all. Exams have never come easy to … More Finding balance between work + life + studying + running
I love winter running. I know my blizzard experience in my last post might indicate otherwise, but having grown up in upstate NY, I loved the winter season ever since I was little. And as I grew up and took on running, I instantly took a liking to winter running. I love the energy the cold gives … More Winter running: what the heck do I wear?!
Happy happy holidays everyone!! I hope you all are having some fun times with your loved ones. I have been home for over a week now, and it has been filled with lots and lots of R&R&R (the extra R is for “reflection” 😉 ), family/friend/church time, and of course running :). First, let’s go through … More Holidays at home + new year goals
Once again, blogging on the road! This time on my way back home. This week was a super intense one with my work team in Hartford.

I’ve … More A week in the life of a consultant
