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]

Is yoga helping my run?
Every Monday I go to yoga. It’s a community class offered by the city and was a much more affordable option than a yoga studio. After all, I’m just trying this out to see if I like it. After 3 weeks, I’ve noticed a few things: My core still needs work. Certain yoga poses are… [Read More]

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]

Race Recap: RnR Las Vegas 2011 (The Good and the Bad)
Originally posted December 2011 during my quest to run 7 Rock N Roll Series events in one year and earn the Rock Legend Heavy Medal. This race is arguably one of the worst races in RNR history due to the insanely poor logistics, over crowded course, and the beginning of the end of RNR races for… [Read More]
