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
No matter how many races I do, there’s always a battle of nerves and self-doubt. And going into this race, after all the challenges of the last two months, I didn’t know what to expect from myself. So I didn’t have a goal — just hope that I could have fun, and feel good. Miles… Continue reading Carlsbad Half Marathon 2020
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
It was on this day, ten years ago, that Jared and I first became marathoners! We were engaged, new to San Diego, just a couple of 20-somethings, who set out to do the “impossible.” It’s a day that changed my life — ranking up there with our wedding day, the births of our children, and… Continue reading The First Marathon: RnRSD 2009
It was 10 years ago, in 2009, that Jared and I ran our first full marathon. I finished in 4:28:33 @ 10:15/mile. It was an impossible dream then, but that’s when qualifying for Boston became a whisper of a goal in my heart as I chiseled away at my finish times. For over 10 years,… Continue reading Boston 2019 Race Recap
On November 4th, I ran my 23rd marathon — my first since Leo was born in March. And while it’s long overdue, I wanted to sit down and write out a recap before diving into training for #24. Two weeks before race day, I posted a training recap, and was feeling great! But that confidence… Continue reading REVEL Canyon City 2017 Race Recap
A few weeks ago, I ran the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego half-marathon. I was only nine weeks postpartum at the time, and probably would’ve opted out if it were any other race, but I’ve run this one every year since we moved to San Diego in 2009. I couldn’t break my streak! [*I should… Continue reading #RnRSD Race Recap 2017
How we’re growing?: At 30 weeks (gosh, that sounds so far along…) baby’s close to 17 inches, 3.5 lbs., and the size of a cantaloupe! How I’m feeling?: I’m overly emotional, battling sciatic nerve/low back pain, restless leg, and guys, I. am. so. tired! You know what baffles me? Pregnant mamas who sleep well… Speaking… Continue reading Cookie: 30 weeks + Race Recap
Merry Christmas Eve! Happy 1st night of Hanukkah! Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, (or both, like us!), or simply enjoying a peaceful winter weekend, we hope it’s filled with joy and love. How we’re growing?: Oh baby boy, we are growing! I’m supposed to be gaining ~1 lb. per week as baby packs on weight,… Continue reading Cookie: 26 weeks
Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! I’m a couple days late with this 22 week update, because my parents and brother are in town from Ohio! How we’re growing?: At 22 weeks, our little guy’s about 12 inches long and the size of a spaghetti squash, though he feels more like a bowling ball on my bladder, ha!… Continue reading Cookie: 22 weeks
