Just a little post-report from my half marathon in San Luis Obispo. Yes, the weekend was mostly about the race, about spending time with my amazing Team in Training friends, about helping find a cure for cancer. But really can I move on from this weekend without mentioning the hotel we stayed in?We stayed in the Madonna Inn. It is a glory of pink! To start off, this cake starred…
It rained as we drove down.No, it poured as we drove down.The Weather God finally decided that California needed rain, so he brought it on. The forecast said ‘dry’ on race day, but the drive down had me fooled… We arrived in San Luis Obispo, CA on Friday afternoon. A little too late for the race expo, so we just decided to chill by the beach and grab a couple…
Happy Easter to all my fellow runners, walkers, hopscotchers!Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Preeta and I at the expo I love the Rock ‘n Roll race series. I love their energy and their medals (you both knew I would mention medals…)!Due to my injury in 2013 I wasn’t able to run any of the RnR races last year, so this was my RnR come-back race. I decided to make a weekend out of it. Now, I live in the Bay Area, therefore staying overnight…
OMG!I am sooo excited!!The medals for my virtual race – This Chick Loves To Run – arrived today! The UPS guy knocked on my door. I saw the box. I picked it up. I waited.I was scared!

Registered participants run either 5k, 10k, or 26.2k at some point during this month and post their achievements on our private Facebook page or on the Google+ community page. And this will earn them a beautiful medal. This is such an exciting event…

My new best friend is a tube of anti-itch cream! As you both may imagine that does not make me happy. In fact let me go and re-apply right now.[…]So, how did I get here?Right before the Austin Half Marathon my IT-bands started to shout out loud that they needed some more love, tender, and care. And because I am trying to be a good host to my body, I…
Now you may be fooled into thinking that running is not a high-tech sports and all you need are a pair of running shoes and hopefully running shorts and a t-shirt and off you go… You are wrong! Sorry to be this blunt! I don’t know any runner anymore who heads out the door without at least one gadget. I know plenty (including myself) who don’t leave the house without…
