I had a feeling this was going to be a weekend full of runner love and it sure was! This was my 5th year in a row participating in one of races that the San Francisco Marathon puts on. It seems that I have started somewhat of a pattern with the SFM events: 2008 Full [...]

SFM Love
After a long day of travelling, last night I happily landed in San Francisco with a big weekend ahead. Last year, this was a very busy week and weekend for me, so it’s kind of become a joke that SFM week is the busiest of the year. When I found out I was leaving the [...]
All Things San Francisco Marathon
It’s July and around the Bay Area running community that means one thing… San Francisco Marathon month! This year The San Francisco Marathon is on Sunday, July 29th. It’s no secret that this race has a special place in my runner heart. Not only was it my first marathon, but it is also what I [...]
SFM Slideshow
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 [...]
