Getting the Runs Back

July 2, 2017

I’ve spent the past few weeks trying to get up and running again. While it’s been frustrating that I have less endurance and I’m slower than I was a couple of years ago, it feels good to be moving again. One of the toughest things for me is getting the motivation to get out the … More Getting the Runs Back

LA Marathon Weekend Part 2

May 24, 2016

Although I went to bed exhilarated by the Olympic Trials and the WeRunSocial meet up, I woke up on race day with mixed feelings.  While I was excited to be running my first full marathon, there was a battle going on inside my head.  Although I was confident that I could cover the distance and … More LA Marathon Weekend Part 2

LA Marathon Weekend Part 1

I never entertained the thought of finishing a marathon a few years ago. But on Valentine’s Day, I did just that.  Here is part 1 of a long overdue race recap.

I’ve Lost My Mojo

January 24, 2016

So, a couple of months ago I thought it would be a good idea to sign up for the LA Marathon.  I figured that it’s about time that I run a full marathon since I’ve got a few half marathons under my belt now.  Plus, who knows how long it will be before my body … More I’ve Lost My Mojo

Running with the GRVL Runners

June 23, 2015

I was invited by a couple of UnitedLA runners to run with the GRVL Runners of Long Beach last Wednesday night. I figured, it’s summer… why not? So I made the drive from the Fullerton area.             This was a fun 3 mile run through downtown Long Beach with a very supportive … More Running with the GRVL Runners

FCT Treatment Round 4

June 23, 2015

So, last week I completed round four of Field Control Therapy. All-in-all, it went well–the detox symptoms weren’t as terrible as they were during the previous rounds. I’m sure that it helped that I spent the majority of Sunday and Monday outdoors away from EMFs. My last two posts highlighted my time and miles at … More FCT Treatment Round 4

Trail Mix Deluxe Part 1: The Hills Are Alive

June 17, 2015

Sunday was another day out on the trails. Only this time, I’d be on foot instead of two wheels. I was scheduled to do my fourth round of FCT treatment on Sunday so I needed to be outdoors, try to avoid EMFs, and take it easy. Well, two out of the three is not bad, right? I … More Trail Mix Deluxe Part 1: The Hills Are Alive

I didn’t run during National Running Day. I didn’t run all week. Unfortunately, I was battling a stomach bug or some adverse reaction to something I ate Monday night. Thankfully, I was feeling much better by Friday so I was able celebrate National Doughnut Day… Saturday morning I was up early for a  No Meat Athlete OC Running … More Weekend Miles and Meals

I hate that I have to take these meds and supplements but I’m glad that my doctor gave me the heads up after my recent physical and lab work. Hopefully I can turn things around in a couple of months.
