San Francisco – Day Two

Today I went to Niketown early in the morning to check out the store and also received a little goody bag (since I was one of the first 100 in that morning) with miscellaneous stuff like Gu, manicure kit, and hair ties.

Here is my name on the runner’s wall by Niketown.

We met up with Jovanna, Cara, and Tracy at the Expotique and afterwards hung out at Golden Gate Park.

For dinner, we ate at Mona Lisa, an Italian restaurant to carbo load.

San Francisco – Day One

Today we departed Seattle and flew to San Francisco. We’re in the Bay area because I’m participating in the Women’s Nike Half Marathon. :)

Payton did awesome on the plane even with the 2 hour delay. We were lucky to have an empty seat in our row, so he had some play room. Here is a video I took of him on the plane.

When we finally got to San Francisco, we took the BART to downtown’s Union Square where we checked in to our hotel. We got our selves situated and had some play time with Payton.

  Hotel Lobby

After hanging out in the hotel, we went to the Expotique for the Half Marathon that was in Union Square. At the expo, I picked up my number & running chip, did their gait analysis, and tasted a few samples. I was actually disappointed in the Expo because it was pretty small compared to other ones I’ve been to.  There weren’t any other outside vendors so not many samples and free stuff. But since I had a nike+ sportband, I did got a cool Nike Dri-fit hat.

Here is a pic and video of the gait analysis they did. They videotaped me running on a treadmill (of course with their new shoe, the Lunar glide) to get an idea of how I run. The shoe was actually pretty comfortable.

According to their analysis my gait is:

Neutral: The outside of the heel strikes the ground first and the foot rolls inward. The foot pronates within normal limits.

Here are some other pics from today:

   

For dinner, we met up for sushi with my Cousin Ryan and his wife Tereasa.

 

Sushi…yum!

Weekend Garage Sale 10/10/09 & 10/11/09

Saturday was the first day of our garage sale. We ended up doing pretty well for being open for only 4 hours.

On Sunday, day 2 of our garage sale. It was a little slower, but people trickled in on and off.

 

In the end, we were happy that we managed to get rid of a lot of stuff and made quite a bit of money in the process. :)

Here’s a video of Payton and Daddy talking about the weekend.

Here is a video of Payton making cute noises as the mirror gets close to his face. :)

Payton’s 4 month Dr. Appointment

Payton had his 4 month old Doctor Appointment today. According to the Doctor, he is doing well. He weighed in at 15lbs 3 1/2oz (55th percentile). His head circumference is 16 and 1/42inches (50th percentile) and he is 25 and 5/8 inches long (75th percentile, I think the nurse was a bit generous on his length). He had 2 shots and 1 oral vaccine.

Here are some pics from the doctor’s office:
