Or I should really say, “what a last few weeks”. Somehow that just doesn’t sound quite as elegant. LOL.Work has been keeping me chained to my ‘other’ laptop, the work laptop. Not this beauty here (oh my, I forgot you can’t see it – it’s pink. I know you guessed.). I took a couple of weeks off running in May, but have been fully back on in June. First of…
Registration is open for the Midsummer Sun Kilomathon – a virtual race benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Run or walk (or cartwheel or jump or walk backwards or hoola-hoop) 1k each night in June (a total of 30k!) or run or walk a 5k fun run with your kids, spouse, or best friend. 100% of the profits go to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! This will earn you this…
Join me for my virtual race #2 – the Midsummer Sun Kilomathon. We raised over $1,000 in April for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and I would like to top this in June! I love summer. So I thought what better way to celebrate summer and those beautiful long summer evenings than to get off the couch each night and run or walk one km (or more if you like).…
I recently ran my slowest ever half marathon. To be honest it took me nearly 4 hours to complete it. And my ‘normal’ half marathon pace is under 2h30min. So, don’t stop reading yet. As I was running the race (and the 3 days after as I was recovering) I thought about this: What is a perfect race? Is your perfect race your fastest race ever? Is your perfect race…
You both know how I love my Team in Training buddies. So, don’t fault me for saying that sometimes I just love to run by myself. Running alone allows me for some time with my thoughts and reflection. Though I do know that running is not cheaper than therapy (at least not the way I plan my races…). I have noticed that whenever I am home alone I don’t really…
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…
