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…
runner’s world holiday running streak 2013
I’ve never really been good at keeping challenges going, such as quitting coffee for a month, or quitting coffee for a day. Needless to say, I was just a wee bit hesitant to hop on the Runner’s World Holiday Running Streak train. What this challenge entails is to run at least one mile every day starting on Thanksgiving…
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…
birthday baseball getaway
Today is my birthday, or as I usually call it, my burfday. I’m at an age where I suppose I shouldn’t be pronouncing it like that but who cares? I don’t. So yes today is my burfday and I’ve been celebrating it all month long!
new l.a. leggers season and a trail run
I knew when August started, it was going to just fly by. And it did! This month has been seriously crazy busy but I loved it! One thing I wanted to accomplish this month was to spruce up the look of this blog a little bit. It’s really subtle but I can tell the difference. I’ll…
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…
