Happy Memorial Day! This day really isn’t just about a day off from work or school, or firing up the BBQ for some hot grilled veggies, or lounging around all day doing absolutely nothing, it’s about remembering those who have served our country. Today I took a moment to appreciate that and to give thanks to all…
inaugural hollywood half marathon
It’s been two weeks since I ran the Inaugural Hollywood Half Marathon and it’s taken that long for me to get over it. Let’s just say it was a great race up until the point when my PR got taken away from me. Granted I didn’t really train for this thing, I was still on mark…
spectating the 2012 l.a. marathon
Today’s LA Marathon probably turned out way better weather-wise than anybody expected. No rain. Just partly cloudy, cool temps, and sunshine. This just goes to show, you don’t believe weather people. If you actually see and feel the rain, then it’s raining. Until then, it’s just rumor.

l.a. leggers: 11/22 miles
As if waking up at 4AM on a Saturday morning wasn’t hard enough, imagine needing to wake up at 4AM on Sunday too. Since my pace group manned the water station yesterday, we had our make-up run this morning.
l.a. leggers: water station duty
Every Saturday morning, depending on the mileage, the LA Leggers will have a certain number of water stations available to runners and walkers so they can fill up on water, fuel, or seek some sort of First Aid treatment. Since the LA Leggers is an all-volunteer club, pitching in at some point during the season…
