So a few weeks ago I decided I would sign up for a half-marathon and signed up for a race in November. You know what a race in November means?

So just over a week ago I ran the LA Marathon for the 6th time. There truly is something about the LA Marathon…at least there was. For the first time in 6 years of running (not consecutive years) I was very disappointed in the race as a whole. I mean even the year that they … More LA Marathon Recap

This weekend is the Pasadena Half-Marathon, and I am running this race as the second of three races for the Conquer LA Challenge. As this weekend is quickly approaching my own doubts are coming into full force. I wonder if any of my runner friends get this way. You know, doubt your ability to run … More Race Weekend
Yesterday I had the pleasure of running the inaugural pasadena half marathon as part of the Conquer LA challenge. Ok, so while it is cool that my medal says that I am a legacy runner, the race itself was anything but a pleasure. For those that follow the weather, California has had a crazy storm … More Medal Monday
