Since August, with the exception of running with a few friends here and there, I’ve run mostly solo. This has been quite a departure from my normal routine of running with a group every Saturday morning which has been a staple in my life since 2004. But last year was not a normal running, or…

running is a mental sport
Every Saturday morning when I gather to meet my pace group, I always try to have a different topic to talk about. We have returning and new runners, and being that I’m very new to being a head mentor for my group, it’s important for me to offer some helpful guidance. Some that is not just…
running again with my group
This week I was really looking forward to joining up with my running club. Finally, I am going to run with my group again! Getting my things ready last night felt a bit out of sorts.

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…
