Yesterday I was lucky enough to see the sunrise and the sunset the best way I know how… on a run of course! The morning started off with a drive into the hills for some trail running! My running group from work decided to switch things up and I was so excited to get to [...]

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 [...]
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 8
This week I had some great runs, a reality check, and a little too much fun. I ended up not getting in the total miles that I hoped, but the miles I did get in were great, so I am just going to count this as a cut back week in the volume area and [...]
Sweet Sixteen
I have had a couple awesome runs this week (which I will talk about later in my weekly recap), but ended up digging myself into a little hole of tiredness after 2 hard workouts and a double. Hmm – who knew? Looking back I definitely know better and need to make sure to plan better [...]
June
We are half way through 2011! How on earth did that happen? Weren’t we just celebrating New Years yesterday? June turned out to be a pretty good month for me after all. It started off with some struggling while trying to find my running groove again, but finished with a couple great weeks that I [...]
SFM Training: Week 7
This week did not start at all as I planned, but just like I said in my new plan post, you can’t be prepared for everything life throws at you and have to adapt when it comes to training. After a rough start it ended up being the best week of running I have had [...]
Sneak Peek
This morning I met up with the awesome Alyssa and Katie for our long run around San Francisco. I was actually a little nervous for this run for a few reasons: Distance: I was shooting for 20 miles but was kind of nervous that might not happen. I ran 17 miles last weekend, but was [...]
SFM Training: Week 6
Or maybe I should start titling these Portland Marathon Training? I don’t know, but we will just leave it here for now. This week I decided to scrap my old plan, since it was pretty much focusing on SFM as an “A” race and that isn’t the case. Plus I just think it’s time to [...]
SFM Training: Week 3
My legs still aren’t feeling that fantastic, but that’s to be expected. I keep reminding myself I did 2 marathons in 13 days (and hard marathons!), then started back into training pretty quick after a week off. It does get a little frustrating when your legs feel like lead constantly, but I know I just [...]
