Dinner at Pacific Catch

One of my favorite things to do after a long day at work is meeting for dinner with my friend Jen. She knows almost all great restaurants and bars in the city, it is pretty impressive. We probably meet once a week for dinner and drinks and usually, we like to try new places but sometimes it is also nice to go to our old favorite places. The great thing about having dinner with Jen is that we like similar things so we always order a variety of things and share, it's always a lot of fun.

Today, we didn't have that much time for dinner and we wanted to keep it cheap, so we decided to go to "Pacific Catch" on Chestnut Street. The food was really good! I walked passed this place so many times because it always seems crowded (probably for a reason...) but then my friend Kendra took me to this place 3 weeks ago for the first time and I loved it. Today, Jen and I shared ahi-tuna ceviche with platano-chips as an appetizer, we then each had one crispy fish taco "Baja style" with sweet potatoe fries and guacamole and a small ahi-tuna salad. The food was delicious, especially the ahi tuna was really good. I am not sure if I would recommend the salad (it was good but not extra-ordinary), I'll probably have a rice bowl with tuna the next time instead. It was a perfect ending for an exhausting day! Thank goodness that there'll be a bootcamp class tomorrow morning so that I can burn all the calories off again...I am stuffed now ;-)

Welcome to Sue's blog about fitness, food and fun in San Francisco!

This blog is about some of the most favorite things in my life - about my daily workouts but also about food and all the fun things San Francisco and the Bay area has to offer. Currently, I am training for a marathon (which will take place in October) - I am a runner, I love running but also I have to say that I am a slow runner (probably 10:30 min/mile). I joined "Basic Training", an outdoor bootcamp 9 weeks ago - best decision ever! I really like working out with them; the workouts are really hard but you feel fantastic afterwards. I am sure you will read more about it in this blog! Of course, there are other important things in my life as well (it's not just about sport and food...even though that's a big part of it...), but some things are better kept private...
;-)

I have also started doing the Bar method a couple of weeks ago, I love it! It is very different than the bootcamp, but may be that's why I like to add it to my workouts. It is a mix of pilates, ballet and yoga, it is difficult to explain, you should try it (at least if you are female...).

I am addicted to exercise, but that's good because I also love to eat. In fact, I need to lose a couple of pounds, it's not that easy....San Francisco has so many great restaurants to offer, I eat out with friends quite often. But we are also making an effort to cook more home-made meals, so I will hopefully also write about (healthy?) home-made food.

San Francisco is such a wonderful city - I met the most amazing and friendly people here and I am having the time of my life. The city has so much to offer and I am really thankful that I got the opportunity to live the "American way" for a couple of years. It's quite an experience for a Bavarian and I hope that I'll have many fun stories to tell you...
