Disneyland Half 2012
Well, my first run back from having Thing 3 was this year’s Disneyland Half. Tom doesn’t much enjoy it because it’s too hot for him…and, admittedly, the weather is always a risk! Luckily, this year, it was only 66F when I headed out for the corrals. Unluckily, I didn’t realize they had made a mistake… Read more

SJ Rock ‘n’ Roll 2012
I wasn’t sure how this run would turn out (actually, every run is a mystery, really. You never know what to expect and what will transpire out there on the course!), especially since I was running with a friend instead of solo, as I usually do. We were shooting for a sub-2 — a reasonable… Read more

a new PR
Just when I thought I would probably never be able to get back up to speed with my running, I ended up getting a new PR today at the San Jose Rock ‘n’ Roll. Chip Time: 1:54:18. This beats my 2010 Disneyland Half time by ~4 minutes (1:58:02) where I felt I did much better… Read more

Turkey Trot
Thing 1 with swag and his medal Originally uploaded by coffywoman. On Thanksgiving Day, Thing 2 was 15 weeks and 1 day and I ran the longest distance I’ve run since her birth. I took about a one year hiatus from running while I was pregnant with her, so I’ll have to admit that getting… Read more

still running
happy to see Thing 1 and Tom at the Jungle Run finish line! Originally uploaded by coffywoman. Last year, I ran my best half marathon ever at the Santa Cruz Half. Several weeks later, I ran one of my worst runs ever (since I started running, that is) at the Jungle Run. This year, I… Read more

like a mermaid out of water
I participated in an all-women Triathlon/Duathlon this past weekend. Since I suck at swimming (the last time I did a tri, I swam backwards because I was on my back to get air!), I just did the run-bike-run. Results: A miserable 12/16 in age group and 39/93 overall. Here are my splits: T1 00:10:47.0 (1.5… Read more

Almaden Classic
The first time I participated in this event was in 2005, when I was just a couple of months preggers with Thing 1. Christina ran with me and it was her first 10K! Ahh, such sweet memories! This year, I recorded my fastest 10K time: 50:23. But, this only put me at 46/141 overall (women),… Read more
