(Warning: ridiculously long post)
I don’t know how I’ve lived in the Bay Area for 12 years and not have run this race before. It is a great one!
I registered for the first half months ago and have been looking forward to it all summer. While I’ve run across the Golden Gate Bridge many times, I’ve [...]

I’ve been averaging going to 2 ball games every home stand this season. Two games in one weekend is pretty exhausting; adding in a half-marathon made it a pretty full weekend.
Friday Night Game
This was the inaugural year of the Giant Race, the first half-marathon hosted by the Giants. I registered for the race back in [...]

So is the manifesto of See Jane Run, the company that put on the race that I ran yesterday.
After running a mid-day run on Friday, I knew it would be hot on Saturday. As I drove across the San Mateo Bridge to the race in Alameda, it was overcast and foggy. Perfect running conditions, I [...]

One of the main reasons I write a blog is to journalize things that I want to remember. This week’s marathon, my first one, was definitely a significant event in my life so indulge me while I break up this recap of the experience into multiple posts to record every detail that I can remember.

So one thing I didn’t mention in my SFM recap is that I ran the last 7 miles with a numb foot.
I’ve been having lower left leg problems. At first I didn’t know what it was. Shin splits? Calf strain? Achilles tendonitis? You get the idea of the general area that I’m talking about. And [...]

At the start of this year, a colleague put out a challenge to our group to run 500-miles this year. Or as we call it, “The 500-Mile Club.”
I must admit, following my colleagues workout logs has definitely been a major source of competition, I mean motivation.
We’ve been tracking our miles on running-log.com, and [...]

Stressed. That’s how my past 2 days have been. And what the next 2 weeks will probably continue to be like. You see, its the end of the fiscal year at work and there are deadlines a’coming. There’s a lot of work to be done and stress levels are running high for everyone.
Today I watched [...]

First day back of getting into the groove…
I had a hard time going to bed early (i.e., I didn’t), which made it that much harder to wake up this morning. My alarm went off as usual at 4:45 am, but it was another 45 minutes until I dragged myself out of bed. I ate a [...]

I had such a great time on my vacation and I’m so sad that its over. While I usually take a summer and winter trip to see the Vancouver relatives, this time there was a specific purpose — to spend some time with my cousin Jenna.
Jenna graduated from WSU in the Spring with a Masters [...]

While waking up at 6:30 am is sleeping in for me, its not for everyone else. Chip and I were the only ones up (actually its 10:30 am and we’re still the only ones up….) so I decided to take him out for a walk.
The mere mention of the work “walk” gets him all riled [...]

Saturday’s 12-miler at Lacamas Lake left me covered in bug bites. Apparently after an extended rainy Spring, the area has had a real problem with mosquitos. That left me to find new routes to explore for the rest of the week that I’m here.
For today’s 5-miler I stayed in the surrounding neighborhood. I ran a [...]
