The Tao of Me

AM: Workout: Swam 2800 meters PM: Sunday Dinner: Honey Barbecue Meatloaf I don’t know about you, but in this day and age, I don’t understand why we still have the time change. I went to bed at 9:30ish last night (yes on a Saturday). When I woke up I was quite excited to see that [...]

At the start of the weekend I wrote: This weekend, I will run with some friends, attend a big family dinner, swim at the pool, attend more yoga classes than I have all year and have some frozen yogurt. Sadly, not everything went according to plan. After both of Wednesday’s workouts, I was feeling really [...]

Just a few random thoughts on this Friday: 1. One last thing on the LA County Half-Marathon. This pretty much sums it up… …lots of walking. 2. After seeing this photo, taken on Black Friday, I decided that I hated my highlights… …last night I finally got rid of them and went to one color. [...]

Once again its Sunday night and I have no idea where the weekend went. Compared to Tahoe trip last weekend, this one stayed pretty low-key. It was a big sports weekend, with the Giants taking 3 of 4 from the Padres and tie-ing them for first place in the division, plus the start of the [...]

So you know how I said I was on the 15-day DL and couldn’t run this week? Well, after 10 days on the DL, I ran tonight! Yep, I I did! I went to see Dr. Eva today and she liked my progress and gave me the green light to go! So what did I [...]

I just ended a week of not running, and I have one more to go. After the Summer Breeze race, I limped around for three days. The pain in my lower left leg still lingered. It hurt most when I walked down stairs. When I saw Dr. Eva, she was troubled by this. My calf [...]
