We all know I love a good picture slideshow paired up with some fun tunes, and I couldn’t resist making one for The San Francisco Marathon this year, especially when such a fitting song exists! Even though I may not have had the best run ever this year, I still LOVE this race and had [...]

Race Report: 2011 San Francisco Marathon
I always say that if you can learn lessons on race day, it is a successful one no matter what the time on the clock says. Today many lessons were learned. To name a few: I don’t like running marathons as “training runs.” It just doesn’t work for me mentally. There is a reason I [...]
SF Marathon Eve
Whew I am tired. I think I made it through the most tiring parts of the weekend! Now I just have a little marathon to run in the morning. Last night after a busy day at work I drove into San Francisco for an Ambassador celebration dinner! It was so fun to get to meet [...]
Flashback Friday: My First Marathon
It’s always crazy to me each year SFM rolls around. It seems like so long ago that I was lining up at the start line of my very first marathon, but at the same time, it seems like just yesterday. After not being a runner AT ALL at the start of 2008, somehow 8 months [...]
SFM Goals
It’s getting closer! I have been saying all along this training cycle that SFM was going to be a “training run” for me, basically meaning I wasn’t going to go balls to the walls and run as hard as I can on the course since I have my eye on an A race (Portland!) [...]
SFM Meet Ups
I have been asked by a number of people if there is going to be any sort of blogger meet up before The San Francisco Marathon. Since there are so many amazing events already planned (and I only have so much time), I just decided to piggy back off of one of the already planned [...]
SFM Training: Week 11
I had a great week! I ran every morning I wanted to, got all my planned runs in AND was gone pretty much the entire weekend for Page’s wedding! It was a busy week to say the least, but one that I definitely feel good about. I planned on keeping my mileage pretty much the [...]
SFM: Race Day Details
Less than 2 weeks to go until race day! Are you getting excited yet? I have been receiving a bunch of emails with different questions about San Francisco Marathon race day details, so I decided to summarize it all in one post, along with some insider tips from my past experiences. Bring extra (or throwaway) [...]
SFM Training: Week 10
Subtitle: Maybe I am tapering after all. Whew another busy week! My July’s just always seem to be that way. I am trying REALLY hard to not stress myself out over mileage and missed workouts because I know getting stressed doesn’t do any good, but still I can’t help but just wish I was doing [...]
SFM Training: Week 9
This weekend didn’t fully go as planned, but that seems to be the name of the game lately. I remember the days when I would do every single training run on the day I planned to do it. Always exactly on schedule, always in order… those days have been long gone! I think it’s good [...]
