“There are only two certainties in life: death and taxes” but I would also throw change in there. We know change is inevitable. It occurs every second in every moment and everyone has their approach to change. Everyone handles it differently. Some people welcome it with arms wide open, and others, not so much. I…

Off The Grid: June For The Rebound
Recently I took some time to catch up on something I’ve neglected updating these past several months: my running and training journal. I’m usually pretty good about marking my runs with any notes on how I feel, or any aches and pains creeping up as they happen, but it’s the annual mileage I usually forget…
Time to Shift Priorities
Whether it’s family, career, health, running, Netflix, social media – we all have priorities – and the list is endless! We all decide what we’re going to consider more important than another. We all decide what is going to come first in our lives. We decide what we’re going to spend the short precious time we have…
2016: The Year of the Ultras
Back in November of 2015 I wrote a post, titled “First and Last in 2016,” and in it, I was already calling 2016, “The Year of the Ultras.” It felt very strange reading this old post because while some things turned out slightly differently than how I imagined, I’m amazed at how much 2016 actually panned out.

reaching new heights
Saturday, July 23rd marked 14 weeks until Javelina Jundred and while I’d like to say it’s still waaay too early to freak out, I can’t help but have some mild anxiety over it. 14 weeks seems so short, now that I think about it. I mean, it was this time last year (July 2015) when…
wherrre’s the heat?
I’ve been feeling a bit antsy as of late. The reason being, Los Angeles has been having some pretty amazing weather lately. The month of May was full of foggy overcast skies and cool weather with temperatures barely reaching 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If the sun finally does comes out, it doesn’t show up until much later in the afternoon…
a journey of 100(0) miles
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” – Lao Tzu And so, training for Javelina Jundred officially begins, and for arguments sake is only a hundred miles, not a thousand. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if people didn’t feel a difference between the two. And I feel like Saturday’s trail run…
