Random Musings

April 23, 2013

I had a whole list of things I wanted to blog about, but since last Monday, I haven’t felt very motivated to write long posts. But I do have some random thoughts I want to share… + The Bay Area is having really warm temperatures this week, as in the 80′s (which is equivalent to [...]

Tuesday Tidbits

August 14, 2012

Tuesday Tidbits…a day when I post random musings… I got a massage last night. As my massage therapist worked on my bad leg, he found that my IT Band was “crunchy” at the insertion point to the knee. Unlike at the hamstring insertion point, this one didn’t hurt too badly when he worked on it [...]

I Run To Be…

October 18, 2011

I run to be….sore?! I did not expect to be this sore after Nike. Yes it’s the hardest half course I’ve ever run. Yes, the hills were endless. But I did not run very hard for the majority of the race so needless to say, I am surprised, disappointed and a little freaked out about [...]

I Worked Hard This Weekend…

TGIF!

December 17, 2010

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. [...]

We Learn Something New Every Day…

September 13, 2010

As if Monday’s aren’t hard enough, this morning I was at the gym for a 5:30 am Spin class. Thankfully, the instructor had some good music to wake us up. I swear, with good music, I can push myself through anything. And its a good thing too because this was a “harder than usual” Spin [...]
