Last week I challenged you to share with me the reasons why you do this crazy thing called running.
The response that I received was overwhelmingly awesome!
It was so cool to read everyone’s reasons, because they are all so different.

As many of you know, I just (praise the Lord!) recovered from a minor hamstring injury that forced me to pull out of Rock n’ Roll San Diego.

As a runner, there are certain things that really piss me off!

Now that I am officially neck deep into marathon training for the San Francisco Marathon…
I thought it would be a good idea to talk about my fueling tactics for long runs and races.

This blog posting day is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
I love cooking up delicious food, taking pictures of it and then sharing it with you all.
As runners, we know the food is fuel.
And, as they say…
And this meal is officially the greatest breakfast on the planet.
No joke man.
Complete with complex carbs, protein and the healthy fats that we need to power through our day.
Hello there!
(duh)
And as you know, this is when everyone starts talking about their New Years Resolutions.
Many have goals to get fit, lose weight, become a runner, etc. etc….
With the new year in mind, I have decided to let the cat out of the bag.
You are probably thinking “Whaaaaaaatttttt is this crazy lady talking about?”
I am here to tell you…
hand to my heart,

As I usually like to do…
So let’s cut the crap, people.
