2017 wasn’t unkind to me. I had quite a few (mini) adventures and loved most of the year. Trying to pick a few “bests” and “favorites” wasn’t quite as easy as I expected. But here it goes: Best unplanned…

This race was not for the faint-hearted. What sounds like a fun way to start a Saturday, a 6k run or walk, is still kicking my butt more than 30 hours later. One Word: Uphill The Palm Springs Tram…
I haven’t written a race report in a long time. And maybe you’ll think writing about a 10k is boring. But there is no boring. This is the race that made me love running again. The race that made…
It has been an amazing Team in Training season and I wish I would have shared more with you as we trained. We had some fun moments learning THE BIG RESET & sumo-style stretching. We had amazing fundraising heroes,…
Wow! I didn’t think I could stay away from racing for a full year. But then it happened. My last race before my running sabbatical was the Austin Half Marathon in 2015. I took 3 straight months off from…

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…
I completed half marathon #21 yesterday! It’s only half as crazy as it sounds. I know people who have run that many FULL marathons. So no biggie. Yesterday’s Coyote Hill Half Marathon was in fact my very first trail…
Better late than never. So they say. And so I say. It’s been exactly 14 days since the year started and I ran my first race of the year. It was all pretty hazy. No. No. No. You mis-understand.…
