This weekend, I ran or rather ran/walked my 6th marathon, Mountains 2 Beach, which runs from Ojai to Ventura Beach. When I signed up for this race, months & months ago (it sells out every year) I fully intended to be running it much faster & of course not in a lot of pain. Unfortunately, […]
I have been so crazy busy lately and I have to say that this race was very last minute so it’s fitting that I would be really late in recapping my experience. Sean & I decided to run the OC Marathon & Half Marathon at the very last minute, I believe I registered on Wednesday […]
It’s May 1 and I’ve realized that I haven’t really had any real goals to work towards lately. Yes, I’ve been running and I’ve been eating & traveling, but I’ve been kind of just doing whatever with no real plan. So as we start May which is full of races and a lot of traveling, […]
As per usual, it takes me a little while to collect my thoughts and write my big-deal race recaps. I attempted to start writing this recap earlier but I wasn’t quite ready yet, but I am now :). Sean & I had been taking about my running a 50k for a while, we had originally […]
I don’t talk a lot about things outside of running, but Sean & I have another very exciting event coming up at the end of July. Our wedding!!! We are super excited and when Sean had to come to San Francisco for a work conference, we felt like it was the perfect time to get […]
I’ve decided that it’s time to share some of my favorite things. I tend to be very brand loyal when I find things that I like but that doesn’t mean I’m not willing to try new things. Here are a few of my current favorites… Altra Running Superior 2.0 Trail Shoes Winner of the Editor’s […]
Last week, the Monday after I moved to San Diego, Sean & I started the week off by doing the Suja Fresh Start Juice Cleanse. We had been eating a lot of unhealthy foods on the weekends and while we were eating well during the week, it was adding up and making us, well me […]
I wanted to write this recap last week before I moved, however, I ended up sick in bed for a few days, then had to finish packing before the big move this past weekend. A little late but here goes… On Friday I flew over to SD to meet up with Sean so we could […]
So…here we are…Marathon #5 right around the corner and I’m not feeling entirely prepared yet again. I made a decision at the beginning of the year to not focus on time, but to enjoy the ride, which I have been. However this training cycle didn’t go exactly as planned. I started out good, but then […]
I kept meaning to write this recap but with packing, work and training, it just didn’t get done until now. When I ran this race in 2014 it wasn’t my best experience. I didn’t get much sleep the night before, I fell and my knee was all cut open, it rained. There were a ton […]
