Today’s LA Marathon probably turned out way better weather-wise than anybody expected. No rain. Just partly cloudy, cool temps, and sunshine. This just goes to show, you don’t believe weather people. If you actually see and feel the rain, then it’s raining. Until then, it’s just rumor.

blogiversary/l.a. leggers: 1 mile
There is no better way to start off this post other than by saying Happy Blogiversary…to me!! A year ago today, I posted my very first blog entry, and I can’t believe I’m still writing a year later. I certainly have had fun with my silly little running journal, and I can’t wait to see…
i failed at not running
This was a rough week for me. Actually the past few weeks have been tough and when I got home last night from work I was seriously so physically and emotionally drained, I went straight to bed. When I woke up early this morning, I was so close to throwing in the towel and thought…

Since the LA Leggers is an all-volunteer club, pitching in at some point during the season…
operation jack half marathon 2011
I believe it was somewhere around October when it dawned on me I hadn’t done a marathon this year. It wouldn’t be the first time I went a whole year not completing one. I ran my first marathon in 2000 and I didn’t do any in 2001 and then the ball got rolling in 2002…
santa monica-venice christmas run 5K & 10K
Since the turkey trot 10K I ran a couple of weeks ago, my running has taken little dip in mileage. Last weekend I was able to run 14 miles with my running club, LA Leggers, and those went well. This past Saturday, I ran the Santa Monica-Venice Christmas Run 5K and 10K, and yes, I…
