Dear leggies, I know I have been asking a lot of you lately. I have been very demanding and making you do things you have never done before. Although you have been cranky a couple of times, a majority of the time, you stay strong and exceed my expectations. I know it’s hard sometimes and [...]

Run for Sherry
I am one of those people that tries to not think about all the bad things and people that are out there. I am not naive about it, I know it exists, that bad things happen and I am cautious and safe. I just try not to dwell on the bad and focus on the [...]
The Morning
It might shock you with all the morning running that I do, but I have a confession… I am not a morning person. Not at all. No matter how hard I try to be, it is pretty difficult to get out of bed every morning. Every morning I battle my alarms (because I always [...]
Vegas Shenanigans, Day 2
Continuing from where we left off. Page had convinced me to sign up for a Santa 5k on Saturday morning. I knew little about the event but it sounded fun, plus I heard we got Santa suits with our race registration. This was definitely a true story. We woke up, crawled out of bed into [...]
Vegas Shenanigans, Day 1
Hello from Vegas! I have been meaning to blog, really I have, but this trip has just been so busy so far! Since I am trying to keep myself awake as late as possible tonight (in order to sleep in tomorrow), a blog post is the good way to do it. So, what have I [...]
Vegas Bound
My bags are packed! Packing always stresses me out, so the fact that this is done makes me very happy.

My [...]
Double Dog Day
This morning I got up to meet the lovely Katie and Jana for a run around Walnut Creek! Don’t ever leave fall. It was a perfect crisp fall day, the sun was shining, the leaves were bright and the air was cool. We had a great run chatting away as usual, I always love running [...]
Increasing Mileage
I received a comment/question from a reader a couple weeks ago and thought the topic warranted it’s own blog post since it’s such a popular topic among runners I thought you guys would have some great information as well. When you first began running did you go through aches and pains as your mileage increased? [...]
An Afternoon on the Trails
Since the sun has been setting much earlier, Chris and I haven’t had a chance to go trail running together in a while and I have missed it! I have really been wanting to get some longer trail runs done on the weekends to start building a better trail base, but lately my schedule just [...]
DNS
Yesterday was the Portland Marathon. (source) You know that marathon I was supposed to go and run a PR at? The one that was supposed to be my goal race for the year until I decided to back out? Yah that one. The PR Plan. As I sat on the couch yesterday morning tracking [...]
