I love the sentiment of promote what you love so that is exactly what I’m going to do here! There are so many negative things in our world and I find we don’t acknowledge all the good positive things that we love, running-related or not, as often as we should. So with that in mind, I’m going to share…
keep moving forward
I just had to pick the loudest, most squeakiest treadmills in the gym but I needed to get part of my run in. The humidity outside feels heavy and draining, and it’s tough to breath as deeply as I’d like. I needed some relief from it. I don’t “dread” the treadmill as much as some people do….
finding joy and comfort
That past couple of days I’ve been on an emotional roller coaster. Seeing, reading, and feeling the outpouring of love for my friend Mike has been amazing and beautiful. When I ventured to his Facebook wall and read what everyone posted on it, there was something quite apparent. Everyone had a story. Mike was loved by many, and…
what suffering a loss teaches us
I’m running off pure emotion right now but it’s been an enormously tough Monday and all these thoughts and feelings I have are coming to the surface. I need an outlet. This is my outlet. It was March 14, 2015 – the day before the L.A. Marathon and I was in Santa Monica to hear ultra runner…

a running mess is now on youtube!
Yes, the title says it all! I’ve decided to venture from only the print world, out into the video world! Eeeekkk! Right now I’m feeling both excitement and a bit nervous (things I feel whenever I run an ultra) about the whole thing. But I also feel like it was something I should and needed do.
wherrre’s the heat?
I’ve been feeling a bit antsy as of late. The reason being, Los Angeles has been having some pretty amazing weather lately. The month of May was full of foggy overcast skies and cool weather with temperatures barely reaching 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If the sun finally does comes out, it doesn’t show up until much later in the afternoon…
running and the path
Last weekend I had the complete joy of attending the advanced screening of the first season finale of Hulu’s “The Path.” If you haven’t watched it, it’s this crazy thing of a show about some people living in this religious “movement”, and I suppose it can be very reminiscent of a cult, where members alienate, or cut themselves off from having contact…
