A short weekend away with Kitty in the Bay Area after spending the week there for work.

A short visit on the way to the airport to visit Apple and my second time going to the computer history museum. That place really gives me nostalgic vibes from my childhood.

First stop was Half Moon Bay and a new spot I had not been to before, Martens Bay. We spent the night at the Harbor View Inn which was mediocre (loud).

Day two we drove North through Pacifica, across the Golden Gate Bridge and to Muir Woods National Monument area. It was the first time for me visiting Muir and Stinson Beach. Next we visited the giant redwoods of the Muir Woods National Monument. read more

Work trip to Germany over 10 days. Was super busy work wise with a leadership offsite, team members visiting from Bulgaria and meeting and making new friends. Was one of my more memorable visits to the SAP HQ 🙂

Over the weekend I spent some time training in Heidelberg for the upcoming 70.3 Ironman Chattanooga Race. The “City Bad” (City Pool) was chaotic to train in, but also pretty fun versus my local YMCA 🙂 Sunday I did a big strength session, running to the top of Thingstätte, down across the river and back up the other side to Königstuhl. After walking down the 300 odd stairs last year, I really wanted to run up them, so this was the perfect opportunity. read more

Due to a last minute work trip to SAP in Walldorf, some odd flights to Munich afforded me some time on either end of the travel for a few personal events to enjoy. (I generally fly to Frankfurt as it’s much closer).

A few days before the trip I noticed a famous full distance triathlon was going on in Roth, Germany, so on my drive from Munich to Roth, I made a short stop to watch.

During the work week I spent time running in a small forest area next to the office, we had a great event in Heidelberg and hiked from the top down. I also spent some time lap swimming in Walldorf, and also did a trail run along philosophers walk before heading back to Munich. read more
