I’ve never really been good at keeping challenges going, such as quitting coffee for a month, or quitting coffee for a day. Needless to say, I was just a wee bit hesitant to hop on the Runner’s World Holiday Running Streak train. What this challenge entails is to run at least one mile every day starting on Thanksgiving…

portland marathon 2013
The Portland Marathon was eons ago! November flew by in a flash. It was a cray cray month and I just didn’t have any writing in me. I barely even had any running in me. In October, I was consumed by baseball! Yes, baseball! After last year’s horrendous season and the disastrous collapse in 2011, the Red Sox…
birthday baseball getaway
Today is my birthday, or as I usually call it, my burfday. I’m at an age where I suppose I shouldn’t be pronouncing it like that but who cares? I don’t. So yes today is my burfday and I’ve been celebrating it all month long!
new l.a. leggers season and a trail run
I knew when August started, it was going to just fly by. And it did! This month has been seriously crazy busy but I loved it! One thing I wanted to accomplish this month was to spruce up the look of this blog a little bit. It’s really subtle but I can tell the difference. I’ll…
leona divide 50K 2013 (dnf)
When I said I planned on writing more in 2013, I really wasn’t planning on taking another 3-month hiatus from it. I meant to post this entry back in April (or early May the latest), but life of work and play happened and this post never got done. Well, welcome to blog post #3 for the year….
fun times at ray miller 50/50
Just about 10 days until the LA Marathon and I’m not feeling entirely ready. At this point there really isn’t anything I can do about it but relax and enjoy it for what it is…the opportunity to run through LA streets without getting arrested. December really kind of messed up my training and I was trying to play…
XTERRA boney mountain trail run 6k
We’re already into our third month of 2013 and I haven’t gotten around to writing anything. January and February flew by so fast! The funny thing is I started to write this post in January, and then in February but I just didn’t get it done. I’ll chalk it up to life, laziness, and lack of inspiration to…
recapping my running year
I honestly wouldn’t know how to eloquently recap my running year. I fell in love with trail running and ran my first trail race. I completed my first marathon in two years. I ran a number of smaller races and in the past month have dealt with a little injury that has sidelined my running a lot.
