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

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

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

I have exactly 14 more days left until the Rock n Roll Half Marathon in LA.

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.)

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
