If you haven't been to the Del Mar Fair (yes, it's called SD Fair now but Native San Diegans know it as Del Mar), tomorrow is the last day! We were able to go last week and it's the one day of the year for Deep Fried yummies. Fried Twinkie or Fried Smores Fran sound like a good idea to you? Pictured is Roger, Rene and Mike with their fried "prizes."

To think we have been in Point Loma for more than a few years and never been to the OB Farmer's Market. We finally set up some time to go for an hour on Wednesdays before class started and loaded up on some good eats. Organic fruit and vegetables, kettle corn, savory and dessert crepes, empenadas, tamales, hummus and more are among our favorite buys. If you haven't gone yet, we definitely recommend it! We love the California Surfer crepe, and we patiently waited for it for about 10 minutes. =) Visit online at http://www.oceanbeachsandiego.com/OceanBeachFarmersMarket.shtml for more info!

Run 5 K

This past Saturday we had a Stronghold Rock Climbing Day at Solid Rock gym. This was the first time for some of us and we all had a blast! Check out our photo gallery here to see more pictures from the day! We will try to do this at least twice a week. It's great after a CrossFit workout or to work on your grips for gi training!
