First Week of 70.3 Base Training

First week of 70.3 base training, smack dab in the middle of a vacation week, was a success! Training started on November 19th and currently goes 6 days a week. The only day off I really get is Friday and I will probably eventually take it. For now I'm rearranging some of my workouts around. … Continue reading First Week of 70.3 Base Training →

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 →

66 Days & $777 in Fundraising To Go Until My Next 26.2

Okay, so I've stayed off my feet and tried to relax a bit at work. With only two weeks until my next half marathon and only 66 days until my next full marathon, I want to focus and get my energy levels back.

Overthinking Is My Downfall

I'll preface this blog post by admitting that I am about to go on a self-loathing rant. Feeling lost seems to be more and more normal for me lately. Overthinking is my downfall. The more I overthink my training and my nutrition the more difficult it gets to maintain any semblance of normalcy. The last … Continue reading Overthinking Is My Downfall →

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 →

Out of Town Race Weekend!

YIPEEEEEE!!! I get to spend this weekend racing in the Rock n Roll Half Marathon in LA. My hometown! So excited to head back for a few days and soak up the sunshine. It's in the high eighties, so thank goodness the race starts at 7:30am. Last year the course at RnRLA was incredible. It … Continue reading Out of Town Race Weekend! →

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 →

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 →
