Back in September I mentioned how I was undecided about running the 2014 LA Marathon. After this year’s difficult race, I was really aiming to redeem myself, but I couldn’t justify the price of it just yet. These days, races have become more expensive and I’ve become much more selective with what races get my hard earned money. Well,…

santa monica-venice christmas run 2013
The course, the ability to run both the 10k and 5k, and the awesome tech shirt they hand out are pretty much the reasons why I love running the Santa Monica-Venice Christmas Run! This was my third year in a row running it and I’m always so excited for this race. In 2011 I ran…
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…
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.
portland marathon 2012
The Portland Marathon has been on my race radar for years. Timing never worked out perfectly though, but I made sure 2012 was the year I crossed Portland off my list. I’ve heard so many wonderful things about this race – well organized, best swag, beautiful city, friendly people – yeah, yeah, I just wanted to visit Portlandia! I…
