As the LA Marathon is tomorrow, all we’ve heard about this week is how it’s going to rain and rain this weekend like it did last year and runners are going to start to think this is a trend, not a fluke. I wasn’t planning on running LA marathon anyway, but I was planning on… [Read More]
Ladies: It’s time to take it to the trails!
I’ve been incredibly intrigued by trail running ever since watching Unbreakable (the Western States 100 doc, not the Bruce Willis movie). I’ve been dreaming about getting down and dirty on some trails. I’ve also daydreamed about fighting off bears or mountain lions or rapists. Eesh. I have a wild imagination. So of course I was… [Read More]

Race Recap: A new PR at Pasadena RNR 2012!
I might have a new favorite race! To be honest, I didn’t have high hopes about my performance due to a week full of travel eating and sleep depravation beforehand. However, I had so much fun on the course that I kept up a good pace and ended up getting a PR by nearly 4 minutes,… [Read More]

Testing, 1, 2, 3, Run Commute!
I’m Run Commuting! Oh how twitter is changing my life. But let me back up a second…. Just under a year ago I moved to an apartment that is a mere 2.2 miles from where I work. I thought, “Wow, I’m close enough to go home for lunch. Close enough I could bike, even! I… [Read More]

Event Recap: Race Against the Marines
I promised myself I would volunteer at some events this year and give back to the running community what I so deeply appreciate during all the races I can’t seem to stop signing up for: helping hands.

Moral Support for a Marathon
In all the events I’ve attended, I’ve always been the runner. In several instances, there’s been folks along the course supporting me. Sometimes a friend jumps on at mile 18 with some gatorade and pretzels. Most of the time, it’s my husband running half the marathon alongside me to help me keep pace and carry… [Read More]

Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series now has WAY more than 14 events and another heavy medal, and my husband, although he was always with me, didn’t end up running… [Read More]
