Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 146

Day 146 About 3 weeks ago I bought these macarons from Janice Beaton's cheese shop as a dessert. Every since Nicole has been in love with these things. Yesterday we were at Deville Coffee Shop where they had some of these lovely little treats amongst their pastries. Nicole decided to look up where they were made and discovered that were made just off of 4th St in the Mission area at a place called the Yann Haute Patisserie. A visit to this place was with out a doubt in our future, so today when I was tossing around ideas for my workout I asked Nicole if she wanted to join me for a run. She wasn't sure at first but when I suggested that we run to the macaron pastry shop, she was in like flynn.

We popped our running shoes on and ran down 17 ave towards 4th St. The Lilac festival was on, so 17th and especially 4th St were packed. The run involved a little bit of agility as we had to dodge the droves of people who were out enjoying the sun. We made our way to the pastry shop in no time only to discover that they were pretty much out of Macarons, at least of the flavors that interested us. Oh well at least we know where the place is and we found an excuse to get some exercise and enjoy the sun.

After briefly wandering around the Lilac festival we ran to the Glencoe club, where we did a little bit of foam rolling, grabbed a sip of water then ran back home. In the past running hasn't worked out to well for Nicole as it tended to bother her knees, but being the good student of fitness that she is, she has dedicated herself to working on strengthening her hip and knee stabilizers. Today I was super proud of her as she ran a long perfectly with me the whole time.

Today's Workout

5 km Run with Nicole

Well no macarons were purchased, but we did get some exercise, which I'm thinking will have to continue to be part of our routine now that we know where to get these tasty treats directly from the source.
