Recaps of my races
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 […]
I’ve now been doing this blogging thing for a few years. Every time I think I’m starting to get the hang of it, something else comes along and I realize I still have so much to learn. But I do feel […]
I haven’t run many races in the winter the past few years. I’m a coach and pacer for my running club’s marathon training program and we focus on March’s Oakland Marathon as the goal race. This means we have group […]

Why ‘only’ train for an ultra when you can train for an ultra while testing out not one, but two cross-training/workout apps? This week, I added in 7 days of barre workouts to the 3 day a week core workout […]
