to work and back the short way

went to visit Peets yesterday.  Here are a few pictures from their new roastery in Alamenda.  This was cool for me to see since my wife and I are big Peets fans and we also roast our own coffee at home.   It's cool that they actually have people who listen for the crack to monitor the roast level (picture 3).  Apparently, starbucks just does automated roasting.  The red bags in picture 4 in the distrubution area are the holiday blend, which they just started making.  They gave us bags of that, which was nice.

 (Apologies for such crappy photo quality since I only had my blackberry with me).

to work, to the Y, and home.

haven't been swimming in a little while and definitely felt it. was feeling fatigue at 900m, but at 1500 I finally felt warmed up. had to cut short at 1800 because the masters swim class started and they took up 3 of the 5 lines and the remaining lanes were already full. Oh well...

a little bit of active recovery...okay, maybe a little more than that...

weight is up probably due to extra water retention due to inflammation.

a couple pictures from yesterday's race...

great venue for a race. almost all on trails. Finished in 9:11:58. No complaints here.
