As per usual, I’m a little behind on my recaps 🙂 lol, but this was my first of 4 planned races for November. I signed up for and had targeted the Women’s Half Marathon in Scottsdale way back in January, at the P.F. Chang’s Marathon expo, but unfortunately in late September they sent an email […]
It’s not often that you get to run a race on a weekday, but Esprit de She gives you the opportunity to do a 5K or 10K for “happy hour”. So last Thursday, I took a little 40 min drive down to Mesa Riverview Park to run the 10K. I ran this race last year, […]
Finishing up my tour of travel a few weeks ago was a visit to Ventura Beach, CA for the Ventura Marathon or half marathon in my case :). I had been planning on running this event for a while, ever since my friend Rhea told me about it earlier this year. She, her husband, Kenny, […]
I love to race, no matter what the outcome, PR or not, it’s been 8 weeks since my last race, which I think was part of the reason I was getting bored with my training, plus this crazy heat is insane :). Last weekend, I went up to San Francisco to run the 1st half […]
I’m really bad about getting these recaps up in a timely fashion, but sometimes it takes me a bit to process what happened and then of course, life happens, work events typically follow race weekends and since this race, I’ve been off due to my small sugar addiction taking over. But now all is semi-back […]
I had the pleasure of being a part of the shake-out run with Meb Keflezighi this past weekend as part of the Suja Rock n Roll San Diego Marathon & Half Marathon weekend. I had seen the shake-out run advertised, and since my birthday is coming up, I decided to give myself an early birthday […]
This post has been a long time coming, I should have written it a long time ago, but I have/had a lot of conflicting views on this race. Last time I wrote about Italy, I had been to the expo and did a shake-out run with The Roman Guy. After the shakeout run, I had […]
After my performance in the Rome Marathon back in March, I decided to concentrate on the half marathon distance and working on my speed on the shorter distance before tackling the marathon distance again, so I decided to incorporate some new events (the duathlon) and some shorter distance runs, like The Night Run 10K to […]
Back in December when I was planning my winter/spring race schedule I got a few emails from Esprit de She because I was a founding finisher after I ran the 2013 Esprit de She 10K in Tempe, AZ. I remember seeing emails about the Tri/Duathlon last spring but I was training for multiple half marathons […]
This past weekend I went up to Zion with some of my running buddies to run the Ragnar Trail Relay. We did the McDowell Mountain Relay last year and so when one of my running buddies told us about a team that was looking for runners, we jumped at it. A little burnt toast moment […]
