I spend a lot more time on Twitter and blogs than I do on Facebook. Most of the time, my timeline is filled with things that are of little importance -- people's opinion of politics, senseless partying photos, quips about sports teams, and more. One of my acquaintances generally strikes up cool conversations on Facebook … Continue reading This Type of Logic is Toxic

Planning for Rev3, Personal Training Certification, and More
A bit of trailing exhaustion and/or fatigue has gotten in the way of doing anything somewhat routine. After my short half mile pool session yesterday, I felt a bit under the weather because I was convinced that I might've caught some dreaded germs from the water. I felt a bit lethargic today but just chalked it … Continue reading Planning for Rev3, Personal Training Certification, and More
Race Recap: Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon Los Angeles 2013
I'll never again take the sunshine for granted. I departed from Seattle on a gray, wet afternoon. Up until the race, my runs had been wet and chilly. I packed my warm weather gear -- a running skirt and a t-shirt. Arriving on Friday night, my boyfriend and I headed to a great pho restaurant … Continue reading Race Recap: Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon Los Angeles 2013
Running Zen + Running Inspired
Can every weekend be this fun? I got two new books on running that I'm trying to read simultaneously. (It's really hard to pick just one. As a matter of fact, I'm in the middle of four books right now...) The title of the first book caught my eye immediately. Make peace with my pace?! … Continue reading Running Zen + Running Inspired
14 More Days Until Rock ‘n Roll LA Half!
I have exactly 14 more days left until the Rock n Roll Half Marathon in LA. And, with an intense product launch at work, I'm really going to have to be diligent about logging my miles either before, during, or after work hours. It's been a decent training week. I'm hoping to log some more … Continue reading 14 More Days Until Rock ‘n Roll LA Half!
Catching Up With My Marathon Training
So I've written and trashed and rewritten this blog post a few times. It's not even a tell-all or anything. I'm just trying to get back into the swing of things here! I took about two weeks off from any serious marathon training and blogging to take care of some things at work. In that … Continue reading Catching Up With My Marathon Training
Would you be interested in joining my virtual training team?
Hey ladies and gents! I just posted a new vlog after a year-long hiatus. (Warning: it's pretty much the same thing I'm blogging here.) So after reading about a friend who just joined Team in Training for Goofy's Race and a Half Challenge next January, I clicked through to another blog from a charity runner … Continue reading Would you be interested in joining my virtual training team?
There’s Something About a Crow Pose
Yesterday, with my fantabulous Pocket Yoga app, I decided to go for a 45 minute yoga session before work. I was continually interrupted, but aside from those external annoyances, things were going great. I finally started feeling less tense and tight from all the running and biking I've been doing. However, I came across a … Continue reading There’s Something About a Crow Pose
Fitness Friday: Channel Your Gratitude and Level Your Attitude
Let's face it. Most of what we see online is not true. Very rarely will you see what people are really seeing, feeling, and thinking. Most of the time it's all one giant highlight reel -- everyone effortlessly goes about their daily lives looking happy and relatively healthy. Truth is, it's mostly an act. Everyone has … Continue reading Fitness Friday: Channel Your Gratitude and Level Your Attitude
Yoga + Bike Goodies + Hotel Booked + Oh Yeah, Please Donate to my Fundraiser!
It seems like just yesterday I was crossing the half marathon finish line, and now we're already at Thursday! I'm still relatively tense and stiff from the race and I've been meaning to get to the massage therapist's office all week. I will most likely have to schedule it for the weekend. In the meantime, … Continue reading Yoga + Bike Goodies + Hotel Booked + Oh Yeah, Please Donate to my Fundraiser!
