Surfer’s Path Marathon PR – 5/17/2015 and SC Half PR
I haven’t been keeping up with any blogging of late as it has been remarkably busy–needing sleep seems to be a problem! Anyway, I ran a marathon this year because…well, I don’t know why. The last time I ran a marathon, I was so beat by mile 20, I vowed I would never run that… Read more

2014 Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot – PR
This year’s run resulted in a new PR — my first 10K PR since the 2008 Almaden Classic where I ran 50:23)! For the record, I wasn’t really trying for a PR. The Turkey Trot is such a crowded race, I figured I’d be in a clump of runners and, therefore, slowed a bit by… Read more

Inaugural Surfer’s Path 10K – 11/9/2014 almost a new 10K PR
I am trying to make my annual mileage goal of 850 miles and I like inaugural races–it’s always nice to start a new running tradition–so, at the very last minute (meaning, 13 mins. before Registration closed on the last day of packet pick-up), I registered for the Inaugural Surfer’s Path 10K. I had just run… Read more

San Jose Rock ‘n’ Roll Half PR
Well, we all got running PRs this year at the SJ Rock ‘n’ Roll, and 8 seconds was the lucky number! Tom and A. were 8 seconds apart coming in at 1:45:12 and 1:45:04, respectively, and I beat my previous PR (from this year’s Jungle Run) by a mere 8 seconds (1:51:15)! I really had… Read more

2013 Jungle Run Half PR
I’ve been running consistently every weekend with Jenny for about a year now and I think the regularity is paying off. I surprised myself by getting a new PR — my first ever on this course, 1:51:23, which means I shaved 2 minutes from my previous PR (from the Santa Cruz Half)! The conditions leading… Read more

2013 Santa Cruz Half Marathon PR
Ok. I didn’t expect to pull off a new PR at this event, but miraculously, I did! I went to bed only after midnight and then Thing 3 was up much of the early morning and, consequently, I was, too. When I finally got out of bed sometime between 6:15 and 6:30am, I was so… 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
