I started writing this recap of the LA Marathon shortly after finishing the race. And then I stopped writing it. For some reason, I just couldn’t get my fingers to the keyboard, or pen to paper (yes, I still use pen and paper to write). Life was busy. However, the added days allowed me to reflect more on…

la marathon 2015: for tia bronco
Why do I sign up for these things? That’s usually what I ask myself sometime during the week of the marathon, and mile 18. Just as I always suspect, this year’s marathon will be another hot one. I ran my first LA Marathon back in 2004 when we had record high heat and every mile or so,…
san diego 50 – my first 50 mile ultramarathon
Last Saturday, my eyes opened up on 1:48AM, a full 12 minutes before my alarm was set to go off and I was to hear “Lately I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep…” the first line of “Counting Stars” by OneRepublic, which has been my go-to let’s go running wake up song for the past year or so. Yes,…
final thoughts before 50 miles
I had something a little more elaborate and more well-thought of that I had written, but I tossed it and decided to make this post raw. Excuse all the grammatical mistakes that may follow. These are just last minute thoughts running through my mind and hoping I can type fast enough to get them all,…

Several days have passed since I stopped stuffing my face with delicious vegan food for Thanksgiving and I can actually write about the Tofurky Trot 5K. The Tofurky Trot benefits the National Museum of Animals & Society
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. The same thing happened last Friday as I was gathering my items for the weekend races. I completely forgot to charge my…
griffith park trail 10k 2014
Let’s just say the day didn’t start out as smoothly as I would have hoped. Because this race started an hour earlier, my Sunday morning started earlier, and I was just a little tired and heat drained from the day before. Again I ate my banana and peanut butter for breakfast and afterwards, headed over to where I…
