I love when the night before a big race I have my things ready early, I go to bed early, and I get the best sleep ever only to wake up feeling so energized and refreshed for the big day. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen the night before the Bulldog 50K.

Getting Ready for the Bulldog 50K…again
This past Monday, on August 22nd, I was reminded by the Facebook that “On This Day” in 2015, I was doing the Bulldog 50K. I remember that day like it was yesterday and this weekend I’d like to make better memories of it and finish what I didn’t do last year. After only completing the…
Volunteering at Angeles Crest 100 (2016)
It certainly wasn’t my intention to post 11 days after my last write-up, but here I am. Honestly I can’t say I’m too surprised since life has been a bit busy. Going into the previous week I knew training would be taking a hit, but while it made me a bit nervous, I kept reiterating…

ready to settle a score: leona divide
Going into this running year and planning my training for the BIG race, Javelina Jundred, I knew every race I signed up for would have a purpose. No novelty just-for-the-heck-of-it races are on my agenda, so you won’t see me signing up for a “Run for Churros 5K” or a “Taco Taco 10K.” Wait, do those…

Ohhhh the magical world of UltraSignup. If you ever find yourself on this site — beware. You could find yourself gazing deep into it’s Hot List and the Deal pages’ eyes and before you know it, 8 hours of your life have passed by and you didn’t even stop for snacks. If I could describe…
