Run Revolution

Training for a marathon is a job in itself! What happens when you add a full time job, eating, personal appointments, a certain venture named Run Revolution, maid of honor duties for sister’s upcoming wedding, self care, and sleep to the mix? A day that is booked down to the minute, which makes it almost [...]

Hermosa Beach is a small beach community, which, along with Manhattan Beach to the north, and Redondo Beach to the south and east, makes up the South Bay. Over the years, Hermosa Beach has become a sort of second home for me, thanks to a sister who moved there nearly 7 years ago. I have [...]

On a recent visit to SoCal, namely Hermosa Beach in the South Bay, I took a class at Bikram Yoga Hermosa Beach. This wasn’t my first class here. Last year, I was in town before I ran the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon. I remember one thing about this studio: it was hot. Really, [...]

(As I sit here in the desert, baking in 105 degree heat, I am reminded of the beauty I am surrounded by in Seattle, and the breathtaking run I did last weekend, which prompted this post. I fully appreciate my home in Seattle, and don’t ever want to take it for granted.) I have lived [...]

The new Brooks Ghost 5 is now available!! My post-Boston, post Color Run Ghost 4′s are feeling a little…used. It is time for a new pair. A NEW, new pair. A new model. A new color. New, new, new! (also a new, more expensive price, unfortunately. $110 compared to $100 for the Ghost 4). But [...]

A cloudless warm day in Seattle makes it the happiest place on the planet on its own. So, what happens when you add the Color Run, which is touted as, “The Happiest 5k on the Planet?” Seattle became the happiest place in the universe! Happy Mother’s Day! The Color Run is like no run I [...]

I just started reading, “Poser,” a memoir by Claire Dederer. Take one guess what it’s about? Yoga. The full title is actually, “Poser. My Life in Twenty-three Yoga Poses.” The topic of yoga came up at a wedding we attended last week because of my yoga-centric tattoo on my arm. Conversation evolved from yoga to [...]

It’s official. I just got off the phone with Rock and Roll Seattle headquarters and have changed my half marathon entry to a full marathon. My body, only three weeks since it ran Boston, is not fully recovered, and I have mixed feelings about this. Do I know what I am doing? Not really, but [...]

Until I finish my written story of my first Boston Marathon experience, please enjoy a brief video of the day…  

Part of my life overhaul two years ago, was finding a job that didn’t bring unnecessary stress into my life. I love children; they bring me great joy. I have some childcare experience, and worked as a nanny for twins while in college. I quit my high-stress job in recruiting, and decided I wanted to [...]

In case you didn’t know: I love Brooks. You can read all about my love of Brooks here, here and here. They make really great products! I guess if I am going to love them so much, I should probably get to know them a little better. Here’s what I knew: They’re a running-only company [...]
