Race Recap: Albuquerque 10K 2023
With Colfax Half Marathon training in full swing, I decided to add this 10K to my training calendar on a down week. It took a lot of inner strength to NOT sign up for the half marathon, which would’ve caused me to jump up in my mileage prematurely. I think it is the years of…

Race Recap: Red Shirt Run 10K 2023
February was a busy month! I took a week of vacation to visit friends/family (and to drive 2,000 miles!) and then went straight back to LA for a work trip. As with any work trip, I always try to multi-task so I checked my most favorite website ever – runningintheusa.com – for some fun weekend…

Race Recap: Great Balloon Chase 10K 2022
Fall in Albuquerque is quite nice. I’ve really enjoyed the smaller races I’ve been doing lately. It feels nice to support smaller businesses and to get to know these cities a little more intimately. This was my first hot air balloon themed race, and it was very scenic! As you can see from my race…

I registered for the Monument Valley Half Marathon!
The last few years have been quite a rocky road, but races always gives me something to look forward to. Registering for a race is forever a sign of runner optimism: it’s a milestone, a goal, a reason for training. My IVF journey has been so tough over the past few years that I really…

Race Recap: Dopey Challenge 2022
This was my second Dopey Challenge ever. The first time I did it, I figured it would be my last one. Now that I’ve done my second one, I want to keep doing this challenge! My body absolutely loves the training and I feel so great in the weeks after the race. Training has gone…

Race recap: Hot Chocolate Seattle 5K 2022
I love spending my birthday week/weekend in Seattle. I was able to double up with a work trip to also visit my coworkers and friends. I was also able to squeeze in the Hot Chocolate 5K, which meant I was able to hit my 5 year legacy status. Seattle races have lately been having lots…
