This little website has grown a LOT over the past year, and I want to thank all of you for stopping by.

Christmas is over. You’ve given, AND you’ve received. Maybe you didn’t receive exactly what you wished for? Maybe you asked for a pair of Yak Trax to run in? I have good news for you. Christmas doesn’t have to be over quite yet. I am playing Santa, and am giving away a pair of Yaktrax [...]

Out of all the trendy runs out there, the Color Run seems to have become a favorite of runners, non-runners, and those just looking to have a colorful good time. How could you NOT have fun while running the “happiest 5k on the planet?” I ran it in May wearing all smiles, and since its [...]

It’s been over a month since I ran and injured my hamstring in the Nike Women’s Half Marathon in San Francisco. My goal after the race was to rest a bit, then get back to training so I could have a solid race in the Seattle Half Marathon Thanksgiving weekend. Unfortunately, my hamstring has other [...]

My (free) Newton Gravity running shoes have become my short-run (shorter than 6 miles) shoes, and my look cool when I am NOT running shoes (these are the only active pair of running shoes I wear recreationally). They look that cool. When I came home to an empty, echo-ey house (we are remodeling a house [...]

I received a question a while ago,”What do you do with your old running shoes?” My answer is/was: I keep one old pair around as a back up/for mud runs, etc, and then when I get a newER pair, that pair gets donated. I feel lucky to be able to replace my running shoes every [...]

Halloween is right around the corner, and hopefully you have plans to partake in some festive runs. But what do you do after Halloween while waiting all month to gobble some turkey on Thanksgiving? Why not start growing your mustache. The Day after Halloween brings Movember. What is Movember? Mo (moustache) + November (the month) [...]

After running two marathons in two months, I am officially in the “off-season.” I have no major race scheduled until October (Nike Women’s Half marathon), and after training and running one half-marathon (Seattle), two marathons (Seattle Rock and Roll and Boston), a 10k (March 4th fun run), two 5k’s (Jingle Bell Run and St. Patty’s [...]

Today, on my run, I saw someone wearing these: They were running, too. Looks like we have a new barefoot-style running shoe. I mean, if Nike makes a sandal, we might as well run in it, right? I know barefoot running is very popular right now, and I am not writing this to say I [...]

As a runner, there are certain rules we should follow when we run. Some of these rules are eerily similar to driving rules, which are actually laws. Maybe runners should have to pass a runners test to be able to run in public. Please obey these rules, and we’ll all be happy runners. This is [...]

The Boston Marathon is 4 weeks (minus one day) away…or to be exact, check out the countdown. —————————————————–> But, hey, who’s counting!? The reality of it all is starting to slowly creep in. I have heard stories, and most of them are positive. I have done a little bit of research. I have watched some [...]

I just had my two year anniversary of practicing Bikram Yoga. I was sent a reminder email, and upon reading that email, I was reminded of how far I have come over the past two years. The training programs here may seem daunting at first, especially if you’ve been sedentary: 12 weeks (plus 5 weeks [...]
