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 [...]

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 – [...]

DSE Golden Gate Park 10K Race

January 7, 2013

Since I didn’t get to run the 10K I planned to on New Year’s Day, I decided to run yesterday’s DSE’s 10K Race in Golden Gate Park instead. If you’re not familiar with DSE, it’s a local running club that holds races every weekend, mostly in the City and north Peninsula. The races are generally [...]

ZombieRunner Bay Trail 5-Mile Race

December 16, 2012

One of my Black Friday purchases was registering for the ZombieRunner Bay Trail Race. I have not run double digits since October 28th so I decided not to be overly ambitious and opted to do the 5-mile race vs. the half-marathon. I’m always looking for new places to run and this race was at the [...]

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 [...]
