I had something a little more elaborate and more well-thought of that I had written, but I tossed it and decided to make this post raw. Excuse all the grammatical mistakes that may follow. These are just last minute thoughts running through my mind and hoping I can type fast enough to get them all,…
paramount ranch trail 30k
Lately, I haven’t been much in a writing mood but here it is, my final race recap for 2014 on the Paramount Ranch Trail 30K. Almost took me the remainder of the year to write it up, and I think I’m down to a few hours, but with the holidays, work, taking naps, reading, putting gas in the…

Several days have passed since I stopped stuffing my face with delicious vegan food for Thanksgiving and I can actually write about the Tofurky Trot 5K. The Tofurky Trot benefits the National Museum of Animals & Society
running again with my group

Again I ate my banana and peanut butter for breakfast and afterwards, headed over to where I…

I didn’t know how my right foot was going to feel (even though I was able to run pain-free that week). I was scared of rolling any ankles. I was afraid my lack of fitness…
coming up with a game plan
Even without doing any running for the past month, life has been pretty busy. Time has been spent trying to keep sane from all the lack of running and figuring out what the hell happened this year. I’ve never had a running year quite like this one. Before when I didn’t run, it was because I chose not…
making lemonade from another sprained ankle
When I was told last Wednesday not to run for a couple of weeks I was a little disappointed. Not because I was told to rest, but because I kept thinking I was careless enough to put me in that position in the first place. I’ve been replaying that disappointing morning when I rolled my ankle….
