Several days have passed since I stopped stuffing my face with delicious vegan food for Thanksgiving and I can actually write about the Tofurky Trot 5K. The Tofurky Trot benefits the National Museum of Animals & Society

running again with my group
This week I was really looking forward to joining up with my running club. Finally, I am going to run with my group again! Getting my things ready last night felt a bit out of sorts. The same thing happened last Friday as I was gathering my items for the weekend races. I completely forgot to charge my…
griffith park trail 10k 2014
Let’s just say the day didn’t start out as smoothly as I would have hoped. Because this race started an hour earlier, my Sunday morning started earlier, and I was just a little tired and heat drained from the day before. Again I ate my banana and peanut butter for breakfast and afterwards, headed over to where I…
griffith park trail half marathon 2014
Based on my last post, it was quite apparent I was very nervous going into the Griffith Park Trail Half Marathon and 10K weekend. I didn’t know how my right foot was going to feel (even though I was able to run pain-free that week). I was scared of rolling any ankles. I was afraid my lack of fitness…

I’ve never had a running year quite like this one. Before when I didn’t run, it was because I chose not…
making lemonade from another sprained ankle
When I was told last Wednesday not to run for a couple of weeks I was a little disappointed. Not because I was told to rest, but because I kept thinking I was careless enough to put me in that position in the first place. I’ve been replaying that disappointing morning when I rolled my ankle….
here I go again (another injury)
After my summer cold went away, I was ready for training to pick up steam. A couple of weekends ago I was able to complete 12.04 miles with another 12.82 miles the following day. That was a first for me. I didn’t think I was going to hit 12 miles both days. Turns out, that week I…
i’ve got work to do to be ready for 50 miles
Running season is in full swing. We just finished the third week of the new Leggers season and it’s gone by quickly. I’m honestly getting an immense sense of joy seeing all the new runners! Just hearing about, and seeing people who have never run before, or who have never joined a running and walking club before, is truly…
