To continue with my birthday celebrations, I tricked talked my fellow trail adventurers Jojo and Jessica into exploring my favorite Bay Area mountain with me. Kind of a “it’s my birthday and we will run where I want to” kid of thing. Both girls had been to the summit with me on separate occasions, but [...]

Above the Clouds
After Friday’s 21 miler, I was pretty tired, but I was very much looking forward to the long standing plans I had with Jojo to run Diablo Saturday. If you have been reading this blog for any amount of time, you know that Jojo is my trail twin and we do a lot of long [...]
To The Top, Again
Back in February, I took my friend Kerry to the top of Mt. Diablo as part of her Bay Area Bucket list. I hadn’t been back to the summit since that day, mostly because I was training for AR50, then recovering from it. It’s a pretty tough run, so I never wanted to risk being [...]
American River 50: Recovery Week
I wasn’t sure if I would even post a weekly recap about this week, but I have been getting a lot of questions about how recovery is going, so here we go. This will definitely be the last post with “American River 50” in the title… I know, it’s about time! Last week included a [...]
To The Top
My good friend Kerry is sadly moving away in a couple of months, but the awesome part is she has created a “Bay Area Bucket List” of things she wants to do and see before she leaves. She has been checking them off left and right and I was lucky enough to get to join [...]

I think one of the best ways to get in a good trail run is to sign up for a race. As someone who is still pretty new when it comes to trail running, I am not sure where exactly to go without getting lost and don’t always have people to run with. Both of [...]
One Fear Down: Biking up Mt. Diablo
Yesterday afternoon after a morning long run cut short, an early afternoon of errands, and a desperate late lunch, Chris and I went out for a bike ride. We had debated on going for a while, but eventually just decided to go. I got my cycling clothes on, filled up our bottles, loaded my shirt [...]
Friday Favorites: Diablo Date Nights
Chris and I are both leading very busy lives right now and our schedules are often conflicted. He has been avoiding running on roads for a while now since he is still battling a foot injury, but somewhere in the last month I talked him into running trails with me and it’s been so so [...]
Mt. Diablo
In keeping with the theme of my funemployment, which was wanting to do things I haven’t done before, Chris and I decided to head up Mt. Diablo Monday morning for my last hurrah before becoming a working person again. I stare at this mountain all the time and have always wanted to go running there. [...]
