Based on my last post, it was quite apparent I was very nervous going into the Griffith Park Trail Half Marathon and 10K weekend. 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….
here I go again (another injury)
After my summer cold went away, I was ready for training to pick up steam. A couple of weekends ago I was able to complete 12.04 miles with another 12.82 miles the following day. That was a first for me. I didn’t think I was going to hit 12 miles both days. Turns out, that week I…

la marathon 2014
Let’s just get this out of the way quickly…marathon day was very hot! Muy caliente! When I started looking at the 10 day forecast, I knew it was going to be a tough one. Why couldn’t our local meteorologists be wrong this time around? Good thing when I got to Dodger Stadium there was an…
