During Week 12 of the Carlsbad Half Marathon training, my Garmin Forerunner 220 started acting all wonky. It wouldn’t hook up to my Garmin Express and so I couldn’t upload any activities to the computer and I couldn’t upload workouts to my Garmin. It also started freezing when I would go to save runs. It was frustrating. … More What I’ve been up to and what’s coming up next…
Yay, something a bit more relevant. The Oceanside Valentine’s Day 5K and Bike Ride. Biking, if you feel so inclined. I skipped on the biking 😉 Nic and I aren’t super into mushy holidays or doing anything over the top just because it’s a holiday. We love each other every day and really try to do … More Oceanside Valentine’s Day 5K Recap
I know this happened a month ago, so this post is very outdated, but I feel it’s necessary to write about still. My training cycle for this race was very interesting.

One of my biggest excuses in the past was “I don’t have enough time because I work full time.” Yeah well, you and the rest of the world. I don’t have kids, I have nothing else to take care of besides myself and my apartment. Not having enough time for something is complete BS, even … More Utilizing Your Whole Day and Week 4 Workout Recap
On Saturday, November 14th, I participated in the USATF San Diego XC Championships. This lovely race was the conclusion to the Dirt Dog series, I’ve previously mentioned.

My favorite thing about running is racing. Races are the point in your season that allow you to test your fitness. They tell you where you are physically, what you need to work on and they’re just so much fun. On top of that, there are so many different distances: 1,500, 5K, 4 milers, 10k, … More My Budget Meets My Racing Addiction.
Let’s get real. I am probably one of the most bubbly introverts you’ll ever meet.
