2018 SJ Rock ‘n’ Roll
This year, the whole family ran and it was a weekend event! Thing 3 ran the Kids Rock (1/2 a mile); Thing 2 ran the 5K (too young to register for the 10K) with Tom; Thing 1 ran the 10K; and Tom and I ran the half marathon. Both big kids got some shiny, new… Read more

2018 Santa Cruz Half
This event completely fell off my radar until the very last minute and, while I started 2018 off with a strong start to running, at least 3 weeks of illness and oodles of recent stress kind of derailed training. In terms of the mileage goal, I’m tracking about 13 miles behind where I should be.… Read more

1K Mileage goal checkpoint
I’ve been fretting about the mileage goal progress this year. I opted out of the Surfer’s Path Marathon earlier this year because I just didn’t have enough time (or energy!) to train up for it. There were also at least a couple of weeks where I dipped below the 20miles/week mark which meant that I… Read more

2017 Wharf to Wharf
This year, Thing 2 did her first official Wharf to Wharf (she ran about 1.5 miles of it last year) and Thing 1 completed his 3rd! Thing 1 and his best buddy started out in Corral 1 while Thing 2 and I started back in Corral 4 — we made plans to meet up at… Read more

2017 Santa Cruz Half-Marathon
So, they changed the course this year! I was much slower than I was last year–I could feel it! Yet, my official race results show that I was running an 8:10 pace. My GPS watch shows I was running more like an 8:29 (which seems more accurate!). I wasn’t expecting a PR this year anyway.… Read more

She.is.Beautiful 10K with Thing 2
Thing 2 completed her first 10K at this year’s She.is.Beautiful! And, she was amazing. Maybe around Mile 3, she told me she had a blister and a side stitch, but she carried on in really good spirits. She was a champ! Around mile 4.5, I could tell she was flagging…and she still made comments on… Read more

Surfer’s Path 10K – 2/26/2017
It was a very cold morning and I missed matching my previous 10K PR by 8 secs/mile. It’s hard to believe I actually ran this course at a 7:44 pace 2 years ago and placed second in my age group. This was definitely a fast group and it seems I really am slowing down! I… Read more

Running in the rain
On a cold and wet morning, I saw this: When I passed this… …I had to stop. Around here… …I took my earbuds out to listen to the waves. 6.13 miles total. A little on the slow side, but it was nice to stop and take in the beauty. Read more

2017 Mileage goal complete!
I crossed the 1K threshold on 11/06/2016 and then promptly slowed waaaay down. Part of the lack of miles can be attributed to switching to the new office in Santa Cruz–you’d think that all that saved commuting time would have gained me a little extra time in my running shoes! But, as it turns out,… Read more
