Priorities

January 1, 2013

Unlike the rest of the world I was sound asleep by 10:30 pm last night. Personally I find the whole countdown-at-midnight-thing overrated, and I had a race to run this morning! I was registered to run Brazen Racing’s New Years Day 10K at Lake Chabot. Brazen puts on excellent trail races. I’ve run four but [...]

November 25, 2012

I’m winding down the Thanksgiving weekend with a Fat Dog Day… {Def of Fat Dog Day: a day where you have no obligations – no where to be and nothing to do where you can sit around the house in pj’s and watch movies, sports, read magazines, sleep and essentially do nothing.} …and have been [...]

May 24, 2012

I registered for this race a year ago, just a few hours after finishing the Vancouver Marathon. My cousin Lauren had just run her first half marathon in Vancouver as well, and after that race, we were updating her family on how she did. There was a 1-day special price for $50 so we all [...]

December 31, 2011

Wedding

June 19, 2011

Now that graduation season is over, it’s time for wedding season. This weekend we celebrated my cousin Jonathan’s marriage to his new wife Janelle: They got married last weekend in Hawai’i but had a second reception here in Northern California which was great for those of us who weren’t able to make it to Hawai’i.

Laler-P Goes The Distance

May 9, 2011

After a quick flight home from Vancouver, I hopped on another flight and headed out to New York for a self-imposed Spring Break, hence the lack of posts for the past week. Since not much is going on these days, I’m going to take the next week and write “catch-up” posts of all the things [...]
