On Sunday, I ran marathon #28 in 3:44:42. This was 10-15 minutes slower than I’d worked for, so while I’m bummed about the outcome, it certainly doesn’t diminish what a great journey it’s been — how hard I’ve worked and how far I’ve come over the past two years. After rehabbing a hip injury that took… Continue reading CIM 2021 Race Recap
On Friday, I flew to Sacramento by myself to chase down a dream. It was 2 years ago that I registered for CIM (the California International Marathon), in the middle of a sleepless night with baby Leo. I ended up deferring my 2018 entry to 2019, which means I’ve been dreaming about this race for… Continue reading CIM 2019 Race Recap
Fourteen weeks ago, I started training for Revel Canyon City — my first post-Leo marathon! Every week, I’ve thought: “I need to pop on the blog to write about this,” but life with two kids is crazy (and chaotic, and exhausting, and awesome)! The challenges are never-ending, but I’ve kept up with about 70% of… Continue reading Revel Canyon City Marathon Training Recap
Last month, I ran Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego for my EIGHTH year! What’s even more amazing (to me) is that I’ve managed to run faster and faster each year. When Liv came down with the stomach flu less than two weeks before the race, and I got sick soon after, I thought my race… Continue reading #RnRSD Race Recap
It’s been 11 days since the LA Marathon. The soreness is long gone, the BQ still feels surreal, and I’m setting my sights on “what’s next” (always…). But I still have so much I want to remember about our weekend in LA, so let’s look back… That Friday was Liv’s third birthday (She’s three! I… Continue reading LA Weekend Recap
We just got home from the best weekend in Los Angeles. We celebrated Liv’s third birthday, spectated the Olympic Marathon Trials, celebrated Jared’s and my sixth wedding anniversary (plus Valentine’s Day), and I ran my first Boston Qualifier at the LA Marathon! So so so much awesomeness! Let’s work backwards though, starting with the LA… Continue reading LA Marathon 2016 Race Recap
I don’t know where January went in such a hurry, but somehow, February is here. That means we’re just 11 days away from Liv’s THIRD birthday! As bittersweet as it is to reflect on my baby turning into a little girl, I have to admit this age is so fun. The most notable update is… Continue reading January Wrap-up: 1/18-1/31/2016
The Carlsbad Marathon holds some of the best and most challenging race memories for me. It’s fitting that it’s such a breathtakingly beautiful, but tough course. Before recapping 2016, let’s look back… 2010 – 4:14:30 (9:43/mile) – Jared and I ran the full marathon, three weeks before we got married on the beach in Carlsbad (and… Continue reading Carlsbad Marathon 2016 Race Recap
Last Saturday, I ran the REVEL Canyon City Marathon. It was such an incredible race that we were on the drive home when I realized: “Shoot, I’m going to have to start blogging again, just to write a recap!” I had big goals for this race, but I trained hard, and I was ready to… Continue reading REVEL Canyon City Marathon Race Recap
