May 19, 2013

Mermaid Series Sirena18 Race

May 12, 2013

I was first introduced to the Mermaid Series in 2009. Since then I’ve run one of their 5K‘s, a 10K, and attended one Open Water Swim clinic. Being a lone runner, long runs feel so daunting. So last week, when I saw that their Sirena18 race fit in line with what my coach had scheduled [...]

April 25, 2013

April 25th will always hold a special place on my calendar. That’s because it was on this date, three years ago today that I ran my first marathon – the Marin Marathon. It was the first and only year that this race offered a full marathon. In hindsight I wish I picked a different marathon [...]

Sunny Times in San Francisco

April 20, 2013
