2013 Kaiser Half-Marathon Race Recap

February 5, 2013

This past Sunday I ran the Kaiser Half-Marathon in San Francisco. It was the 30th anniversary of the race, and my second time running it. It’s one of my favorite races to run. It’s a nice sized race (about 5500, plus 5K runners), very well organized, and they mail you your bib and chip – [...]

What’s Next {aka Fear the Race}

November 12, 2012

I made it all of eight days without being registered for a marathon. The truth is, within hours after NYCM being cancelled I knew what I wanted to do next. But in that moment I was so emotional about the race being cancelled that I had a “West Coast Bias full court press” going on. [...]

SFM 2nd Half Marathon 2012 Race Report

August 2, 2012

Having run very limited miles in June and July I went into this race with managed expectations. For me it was not a “race” but a supported long run to gauge where my fitness level is at coming back from injury. The most stressful part of this race wasn’t the race itself, but managing the [...]

Portland Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon

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 [...]

Wahine Half Marathon

April 15, 2012

It’s been 2 weeks since I ran the Wahine Half-Marathon in Honolulu. It wasn’t an “A” race, or even a “B” race; it was a more a “C” race, “C” being for “convenience.” My cousin Becki, who lives on O’ahu, recently started running and signed up for this race a long time ago. I didn’t [...]

2012 Oakland Running Festival

April 6, 2012

“There’s nothing like going to bed listening to the rain that you’ll be running 13.1 miles in tomorrow.” Those were my thoughts before going to bed the night before the Oakland Running Festival (ORF). The Bay Area had been drenched with rain that day and it was also forecasted for race morning. But as awful [...]

Kaiser Half-Marathon

February 6, 2012

I have never had much interest in running the Kaiser Half-Marathon because there isn’t a Finisher’s Medal. But when registration opened I looked at the course and saw that the first few miles were the same course as the 5K I ran last November (it’s put on by the same company). I loved running around [...]

3rd Raceversary

November 9, 2011

My bedtime was 15 minutes ago, but I couldn’t let the day end without a quick post to remember my 3rd Raceversary (I have no idea how to spell it, but you know what I’m talking about…). It was exactly 3 years ago today that I ran my very first race – the Big Sur [...]
