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…

valley crest trail half marathon 2014
A couple of weeks prior to the Valley Crest Half Marathon, I went out to run the course preview. That morning couldn’t have been more perfect! The weather was very cool. There was a nice gloomy overcast. I started just after 7AM. I felt good. And it was absolutely nothing like the actual race.
sean o’brien 50k – my first ultra distance
Some people ask, “What is an ultra?” Well, an ultra is considered anything past the marathon distance of 26.2 miles.

The funny thing is I started to write this post in January, and then in February but I just didn’t get it done. I’ll chalk it up to life, laziness, and lack of inspiration to…
bulldog trail race 25k 2012
I honestly can’t believe it’s been a month since the Bulldog Trail Run 25K took place and I still can’t believe I did it!! The past few weeks have been the most seriously exhausting, fun filled weeks I’ve had all year so getting around to writing up my thoughts on my first trail run kept getting pushed back…
