I hope everyone had a nice National Running Day yesterday!?! Did you get in a run? At 5 in the morning I laced up my running shoes and managed to squeeze in a quick 4 miles on the treadmill. After peeling off my socks, taking a quick shower and donning a corporate wardrobe , I …

Dining with the stars
Youtube stars that is! Before I could eat dinner with internet celebrities I first went for an 8 mile run. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to run those stairs I mentioned the other day at the 6.5 mile mark in my run. It was great for my endurance training …
No rest for the weekend
Friday was a long 10 hour work day followed by a friend's concert in the evening. It is now Saturday morning, and while I have two days of office-free time I am hardly sitting around twiddling my thumbs.

nickles and dimes – also known as CHANGE
Sunday's are reserved for moving slower, taking care of errands and lounging in the evening. I did take care of errands, like going to the market, and I did lounge in the evening, but the moving slowly part did not happen. I woke up and ran 5 miles in the beautiful spring sun - but …
You know you’re a runner when…
you get excited to go for a run even when the sky looks like this The weather in San Francisco changes hour to hour and from neighborhood to neighborhood. The sun was out when I left my office downtown, but as the bus travelled home the clouds creeped closer with every stop sign. By the …
a pot of gold at the end of the “patience” rainbow
Look what happened over the weekend: Yes that is a sweaty me, but look at my wrist! I finally feel good enough to run outside with my Garmin. I literally had to brush off a layer of dust on this baby before I put it on and somehow it still managed to be charged enough …
