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.
Boo!
But! I am back running and haven’t had any problems with my hamstring since.
WOO WHOO!
Or maybe it is in my head?
Who knows.
I am feeling a little off this week. Continue reading
As a runner, there are certain things that really piss me off!
I am sure most people don’t understand, but maybe you (being a fellow runner) will agree with me…
Pull your head out of your ass, man! I mean come on! It’s called peripheral vision, use it and check out your surroundings before you come to a complete freakin’ stop. I understand that you are tired, but really? Continue reading
On Saturday, May 7, 2016 I was the 2:30 pacer for the Santa Barbara Wine Country Half Marathon.
This was my first assignment for Beast Pacing and what a day it was.
But, I am skipping ahead a little.
After taking a few days off of running and getting some much needed rest, I am ready to rock the Santa Barbara Wine Country Half this weekend.
But! Not before sharing with you a delicious meal that I made last night.
It is no secret that I have a slight obsession with quinoa.
It is the perfect blend of carbs and protein.
And it is so good for you!
So, without further adieu!
I am a Destination Races Ambassador!
If you haven’t heard of Destination Races, let me inform you.

I am leaving in a little bit for my vacation in Santa Barbara with my friends from college.
I am so freakin’ excited.
Surprisingly, I have lots of running on the calendar!
But, unlike my last vacation, I am actually going to do it.
If you have never been to Santa Barbara, you are missing out.
It is absolutely gorgeous.
We made it!
Yesssssssssssssssss!
I leave in roughly 53 minutes (not that I am counting) for Santa Barbara.
I am staying there over the weekend (again) with my super cool friend.
Why?
Well, hello there!
I have slowly been getting back to my training this week and feeling much better about it.
Thank goodness.
It’s only 4 miles, but my shin didn’t hurt too bad.
Today, I will run an additional 2 miles after work…
Annnnndddddd I have the Santa Barbara 5k tomorrow.
I will be meeting my best friend for brunch after the race. Continue reading
Another late race review.
I know, I know.
I need to get on it.
Sorry dudes.
Soooo….
2 weeks after the SLO Marathon,
I ran the Santa Barbara Wine Country Half Marathon.
It was amazing.
Honestly, it was the BEST race I have done in my life, EVER.
And that’s a pretty tall order.
The race started at 6:45 AM in downtown Los Olivos Continue reading
