Nanny Goat Race Report ‘13

Tony Ryan and I drove up early Friday. We managed to score the bay area a stall, I spent a good chunk of Friday afternoon decorating the stall as I'd learned last year that decorated stalls are very fun and much encouraged, this year I had a plan and brought supplies! I made a giant crepe paper golden gate bride on one ( Read more... )

this morning I did my alumni high school’s fundraiser run The Big Bear Run. I ran the 5k in 34:46, which is a new pr for me, but not entirely happy with it. I had wanted to do sub 30min, my PR is really slow as I always walk/run 5k’s with my little kiddos (they get mad if I do a 5k without them!). It was pretty warm out there and I discovered that ( Read more... )

Wow, I really don’t know what to say about yesterday’s race. I participated in Brazen Racing’s Mt Diablo half marathon. Temps there climbed up to 95 and the majority of it (about 12 miles) were completely exposed climbing mountains with 2700+ feet of elevation gain.

He runs in a jester suit so it was extremely entertain. The guy is amazing ( Read more... )

after my racing 10k debut at the Mermaid run my parents coerced me into joining the Cinderella trail run this Saturday. I was sore for about 4 days after the mermaid run and was seriously doubting my sanity for signing up for a hilly 10k as my 2nd official 10k. I knew I wouldn't be making a PR but I figured a lot of people I knew were going and to ( Read more... )

First of all HAPPY MOTHERS DAY ( Read more... )

Today we experimented with how well Mermaids can run at Quarry Lakes in Fremont, CA. This is the same park that I did Western Pacific 5k with the family at. It is a very flat course gravel course that runs along the water. Me and my mom did the 10k today while Darci and Salma (grandma's neighbor) did the mini mermaid run which was 1.5miles ( Read more... )

First off this post comes with a disclaimer, there is going to be massive amounts of whine in this post if you're crazy enough to read on then you might want a block of cheese to go with it. And my second disclaimer, even though there is much that went very wrong with this race none of it is Brazen's fault. Their part was flawless as always, tons ( Read more... )
