And just like that, I am even more in love with California. When Cristen, Lauren, Caron and I began planning our adventure, we wanted to take advantage of the amazing places in our very own state. Not only is it easier logistically (drivable!), but California is such a huge state with so many parts that [...]

Adventure Awaits
This year I set out with a simple goal of being more adventurous in my running. While I have had a few races and goals along the way, going new places, running new trails and being fully engulfed in the adventure of each day is what has driven my winter and spring. Not quite two [...]
Pacer Report: 2013 SLO Marathon
Last year I was a spectator at the SLO Marathon and immediately put it on my list of marathons I wanted to run. Not only is it in San Luis Obispo – where I went to college and very close to where I grew up – but it was a very well organized, small town [...]
Race Report: 2013 Gorge Waterfall 50k
At the end of 2012 when browsing around for fun races to run, the Gorge Waterfall 50k caught my attention and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I mean, pictures of running by and behind amazing waterfalls in Oregon will do that to a girl. After a couple of persuasive gchats and texts with Jojo, [...]
Point Reyes
Jojo, Jessica and I have been using birthdays as an excuse this year to do something different with our runs and go explore somewhere fun. We planned ahead and reserved a weekend in March that worked for all of us, and let Jojo – the birthday girl – pick which location she wanted to run [...]
Boston With Love
I have been writing and re-writing posts in my head ever since the awful tragedies on Monday but have been completely struggling with what to say. Part of me didn’t want to write anything since so much has already been said way better than I could ever say it, but the other part of me [...]
Whirlwind
Way Too Cool was just the start of a whirlwind month of running. I didn’t realize at the time how jam packed the 4 weeks following Cool were going to be because I pretty much only thought about the weekend that was immediately coming up. Now that I am sitting here on my first weekend [...]
Race Report: 2013 Way Too Cool 50k
In 2012 I ran Way Too Cool 50k as my first official ultra, but mostly it was a long training run for AR50. I still remember driving back from Auburn that day, so happy, excited and floating around on a runner’s high. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that I would put in for [...]
Race Report: 2013 ITR Lake Chabot 30k
I was really excited for the Inside Trail Racing Lake Chabot race this year. I ran it last year and loved the course, plus this year so many friends were going to be there! Chris and I made the easy drive over to Lake Chabot and met up with a bunch of friends before the [...]
There’s No Place Like…
… the Bay Area in February apparently. This “winter” (if it can even be called that) has been incredible. Although we really, really need the rain (we have had the driest couple months in a long time after the craziness that was December 1st), it’s been so nice to run around on dry trails through [...]
