So, I've searched high and low... and after calling six Asics retailers, only ONE STORE has my sneaker in my size. I even called a store called "Sneakerland"!! (is that really its name?) But its gonna take me 45 minutes to get to Woodland Hills during Rush hour to go and get them. They said they have ONE PAIR LEFT... but the nice guy, Jason, is ( Read more... )

It's been a while. I took a few months off, only running sporadically. But now, i'm back into it... I signed up for the Agoura Hills Half Marathon on March 4. That gives me 20 days to train! (which really isnt enough time). But I know that I'm already in good enough shape, that I can start from here. I ran 5 miles at Balboa Park on Saturday, and 8 ( Read more... )

8 days to go until the Marathon!!!!! I'm so excited/nervous/anxious!!! I just dont want to go into the event already tired, so this week i'm trying to drink a lot of water, eat right, and get enough sleep (which doesnt really seem realistic). I'm just gonna take it slow... one step at a time.. all the way to the finish. I went over the course with ( Read more... )

Hey! So I tallied up all the miles I've run since I started training: a total of 315.26!! (and that doesnt even include the walks i've taken or anything.) I think you're supposed to change your sneakers every 300-500 miles... so i'll be good for the marathon! but after that... i may need a new pair!!

So only 20 days till the Marathon!I'm starting to get everything together for the big event. Here's my tentative packing list.... Post a comment if you think i forgot something!

-Fuel Belt (with all 4 pockets)

-Fuel Belt Bottles (2)

-Running Shorts

-Team in Training Jersey

-Dri-Fit Socks (2)
-Band-aids and Anti-biotic cream (For potential ( Read more... )

Well... training is pretty much over!!! i ran on saturday. it was supposed to be 20 miles or 4 hours, which ever comes first. So i got 16 miles done in 4 hours. It was a rough day for me. i think i went into it being very tired. i dont think i ate right, and the combination just made me a little sluggish. but i did it, and i can still walk --kinda ( Read more... )

Hey Everyone!

So I successfully ran 18 miles on Saturday!!! In 4 hours!! I ran 16 miles in 4 hours the week before, so i've already increased my time. Granted, the course was flatter this week. i was so excited. it went by so fast. Alex and I kept our steady pace the entire time. I was psyched. I was a little sore on sunday, but not really all ( Read more... )

Last night, I got the opportunity to visit Children's Hospital in Los Angeles and visit with some of the cancer patients. I know I'm no stranger to this world, but it was just so nice to be able to directly help some of these kids. We had truck loads of toys for them. It was great. Some of the toys had to wait to "be approved" for the kids, but we ( Read more... )

My run on Saturday went well. I was actually really surpised how well i did. I ran 16 miles, without any pain, cramps or tummy issues. Of course i was really sore at the end, but i did it!!!! As usual, we were the last to finish. but we did 16 miles in 4 hours. thats a 15 minute mile, but i dont even care. that would put me at a 6 and a half hour ( Read more... )
