Even though I haven’t been able to run races for awhile because of my IT Band Syndrome, this post is one I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Since I feel like we’re in the heart of race season, I figured there’s no time but the present to share. We all have our rituals…
Matt’s LA Marathon Recap
As promised last week, today’s post has been written by my lovely fiance. He’ll be recapping his experience running the LA Marathon, including all the highs and lows of the day. Enjoy! So as you read on Friday, I was the lucky one to run the ASICS LA Marathon. And boy, what an experience it…
ASICS LA Marathon VIP Weekend Recap
Exactly a week ago, we were heading to Los Angeles for a busy weekend of marathon-related fun. It’s hard to believe it’s all over. I was asked to be part of the Team ASICS Challenge back in December, which Matt was also able to join, but due to ridiculous IT Band issues, I had to…
Marathon Training Update 3: Headed to LA!
T – 2 days until the ASICS LA Marathon! We’ve got our bags packed and the only thing standing between us and LA is the work day today. We’re super excited for our busy weekend, and when we return, Matt will be an official marathoner! If you haven’t been keeping up with our progress, then…
Marathon Training Update 2: Knowing When to Throw in the Towel
As of yesterday, the LA Marathon is exactly a month away!! I’m super excited for it…but not for the reason I was originally. About two or three weeks ago, I finally faced the fact that I would not be able to make it through the marathon. I mentioned my knee/IT band problems in my first…
Marathon Training Update 1
As I begin to write this post, I have come to the realization that the LA Marathon is in exactly two months. I was asked by ASICS at the end of December if I would be interested in running this race, to which I hesitantly said yes. My runs hadn’t gone past four miles in…
Electric Run Recap
Or as I like to call it “The 5K of Selfies” because everyone was stopped everywhere before, during, and after to take selfies. This past Saturday night, a few friends and I ran the Electric Run – and by ran, I mean power walked because one of our teammates hadn’t completely recovered from a sprained…
The Color Run Recap – Happiest 5K on the Planet
I finally did something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time! I ran a colorful run, more specifically, “The Happiest 5K on the Planet.” I, along with 3 of my coworkers and 2 other friends, ran The Color Run on Saturday morning, which was held at Qualcomm Stadium. Keep reading for my recap…
Aloha Run 5K Recap
We spent our Sunday morning running the Aloha Run 5K, and it went by in a flash! That’s probably because we’re such fast runners though. (And by we, I mean Matt. He friggin won 3rd in his age group of 25-29. #rockstar) It was the 2nd annual Aloha Run, and it seemed very well put…
Well This Is Going to Be Embarrassing…
So Matt and I signed up for a 5k that’s in a few weeks… We even got some his and hers coconut bras and grass skirts for it… The Aloha Run is a 5k run/walk that comes here to San Diego and features Polynesian music, drummers, hula dancers, and some surf-themed bands. Matt knows some…
Wedding at a Vineyard & I Signed Up for a New Race!!
Matt and I had the honor of spending our Saturday evening at my coworker’s wedding. It was the second wedding I’ve been to here in San Diego, and I must say…it was just as amazing as the first, which was by the bay overlooking downtown. This one was overlooking a beautiful vineyard and mountains. So…
San Diego Safari Park Half Marathon Recap
As many of you are aware, we ran the Safari Park Half Marathon yesterday, so I’m here to recap the experience. We made sure to hydrate ourselves all day Saturday, since the race was supposed to be a hot one. What’s the best way to hydrate? Play drinking games…with water. It works. We arrived at…
Half Marathon Training Plan + Happy News
Let’s start with the happy news. If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you probably already know this, but on Friday I was officially accepted into the FitFluential ambassador program! For those non-bloggers out there, this might not be too exciting, but I am puuuuumped and wanted to share the news. I’ve been wanting…
My Next Race–Safari Style
On Star Wars Day May 4th, I will be running through the tundra with cheetahs and giraffes and sweaty people. Minus the cheetahs and giraffes. In Monday’s post I mentioned I had news about an upcoming race, and I am finally sharing the exciting details. Since one of my New Year’s resolutions/goals was to sign…
