san francisco

i just got back from san francisco, california about 2 hours ago. the trip was to attend a conference with a focus on gastrointestinal malignancies. it was a good time and i learned as well! that is the perfect conversation.

i had never been to san fran before and it was a great city. it was gorgeous weather which makes any city look better! it actually reminded me of chicago. maybe it is just the fact that it is more "city-like" than Houston comes across to me. houston feels like a mush of suburbs to me. people think i'm crazy for walking to the grocery store here! i was used to walking everywhere while living in chicago for grad school.

it was interesting trying to continue training while i was there. the hotel had a fitness center, so that takes care of the running and biking. the pool was a problem....at least they had one! it was about 15 yards (usually they are at least 25). when you make the turns on the wall, you end up pretty dizzy because the pool is so short. one end of the pool was only 2 feet deep--yikes! so, i can't say that i enjoyed the swimming. this morning i opted to run instead of swim. i'll have to make the swim up sometime this week.

it is a run focus this week. i'm going to have to pay attention to how many miles i long this week. i hope you all are having a great weekend.
