In May, I made it a goal to run 100 miles that month. I felt it was an attainable goal and in fact, I did achieve it. Yay me! I decided to make it the same goal for June. But as I was adding up my miles in my training log, I found more holes…
music monday: as we ran
In between some running and the usual weekend chores, I was glued to the streaming of the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run. Just as I did during last year’s event, all day I kept toggling back and forth between the stations and it was so inspiring. I was in complete awe.
father’s day weekend with bryan cranston…and mark wahlberg?
There’s a very good reason why I don’t go out, or stay up very late on Friday nights. It’s a reason most people don’t understand. Actually, I should say a reason most non-runners don’t understand. And a reason most runners will likely understand…
music monday: my body
New feature on the blog that I’d like to call Music Monday! Something else exciting to look forward to on Monday. Gimme a second to remember what the other one is…hmmm… I was towards the end of a run; a run I was ready to finish. My energy was starting to wane and…

I knew I wanted to start writing again, but there was just something in my old platform I didn’t…

For some reason, I just couldn’t get my fingers to the keyboard, or pen to paper (yes, I still use pen and paper to write). Life was busy. However, the added days allowed me to reflect more on…
la marathon 2015: for tia bronco
Why do I sign up for these things? That’s usually what I ask myself sometime during the week of the marathon, and mile 18. Just as I always suspect, this year’s marathon will be another hot one. I ran my first LA Marathon back in 2004 when we had record high heat and every mile or so,…
san diego 50 – my first 50 mile ultramarathon
Last Saturday, my eyes opened up on 1:48AM, a full 12 minutes before my alarm was set to go off and I was to hear “Lately I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep…” the first line of “Counting Stars” by OneRepublic, which has been my go-to let’s go running wake up song for the past year or so. Yes,…
