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…

Two Words: LA Marathon
So guess what… This coming March, I will be running in the ASICS LA Marathon!!! This will be numero dos for me, with my first 26.2 being the Surf City Marathon two years ago. Last year, I was questioning whether I’d ever run a second marathon ever, but the people at ASICS recently approached me…

10 Things I Want to Do Before I Die

Switching Up the Running Schedule
First of all… That’s what the thermometer says the temperature is outside. Not cool! The Weekend Over the lovely rainy and windy weekend, I spent time at my sister and bro-in-law’s house because…well…I could. That was basically the reason.
