Safari Park

So Safari Park Half Marathon…what can I say?  It was beautiful.  The race started at 6:30AM so it was super early (especially because it is a 40 minute drive), but we were able to get there and park without much hassle so that was great.  The race started at the North County fair mall and [...]



Cardiff Kook 10K

So the weather was fantastic and the atmosphere could not have been better.  The Cardiff Kook has been one of my favorite races to date!  It is a fairly small race with less than 2000 runners.  (Las Vegas Rock n Roll had over 45,000 runners).  This was inaugural race and I must say they had [...]



A Fabulous Run

So first I wanted to say thank you to my mom and dad for watching Cole the other day so that I could get a run in.  I ran the Tinkerbell race last Sunday and then I didn’t get a chance to run again until Thursday.  Sometimes life just gets in the way and there [...]



TinkerBell 13.1

So I made it!  Another 13.1 in the books.  I can’t say I am beyond excited only because I was hoping to make it under 2 hours and I came up a little short with a 2:01:55…all that means to me is that I need to run another race… (Secretly…Yippeeee).
Well the weekend started a bit [...]



Inspiration

So last night a friend of mine and I went to a seminar/discussion with Jeff Galloway.  I have being hearing about Jeff Galloway for at least 6 months now because of the Disneyland half marathon in September.  He was one of their key speakers at the expo and I have been wanting to hear him [...]



A Break

So I officially have not run in over a week. Make that 1 week and 2 days…ugh.  I ran 10 miles a week ago Saturday.  It was a beautiful run.  Mission Beach, the Catarman, Ocean and the Bay all mixed in one.  I thought pretty much the whole way, “why don’t I run this more [...]



A Runner’s High

So if you don’t run, it may be hard to understand a runner’s high.  It is the most incredible feeling…especially after a long run.  My favorite is running mile after mile and seeing new places on foot and checking out neighborhoods that I have driven by a million times and seeing things that I had never noticed [...]



Adventure Run

Leah, Nicole, Maureen and Sharlett

So I am been looking forward to this Adventure run for some time now.  Back in January I recommited to the fact that I was going to start running again.  I signed up for The Disneyland 1/2 marathon in September and also the San Diego Rock n’ Roll 1/2 in June.  [...]



Running

So I love to run!  After over 8 years I just began running again.  I can’t believe I took eight years off, but I am back at it.  In college I needed to stay in shape and the gym was just an extra expense.  I lived close to the track at San Diego State and [...]
