Recaps of my races
I was supposed to be the leader of the 4:40 pace group at the Oakland Marathon on March 22. Then, I was supposed to write a recap of that race in this blog post. So many ‘supposedas’ aren’t happening the […]
Salmon Falls 50k is a race I’d never even heard of this time last year. Then several other runners (one a fellow race volunteer at a race, and another runner I was talking to at Skyline to the Sea last […]
When I started doing race recaps, I worried, “What if I don’t have that much to say about a race? What will I do then?” For several years, this wasn’t an issue. I always had something to write about. Either […]

6 Weeks in and I’m still playing around with the very basics of my training plan. The runs are pretty much set (although I’m still tinkering with the best time of day to run to maximize my productivity), but what […]
