In 2015 I posted a similar blog entry about the thoughts that went through my head as I ran the Seattle Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon sans music. Unfortunately the thoughts I had this year were not as positive or fun. With my complete lack of training all I cared about was simply getting to … More Thoughts While Doing the Rock n’ Roll Seattle Half Marathon 2019
My New Year’s Resolution was to run three times per week in the month of January in an attempt to reintroduce myself to running. Running is something I’ve been passionate about for some time, but as some of you know, I developed plantar fasciitis a few year’s ago and after that my runs were few … More Back to Square One
Day 2: After a restless night and a joke of a continental breakfast, we headed out for day two of the RSVP. My legs were tight after the miles the day before and I was slow for what felt like the entire day. The first rest stop was only 15 miles in but I was … More RSVP (Ride From Seattle to Vancouver and Party) Day 2
I’m a runner, not a biker. However, earlier this year for reasons I could not recall recently, I had decided I wanted to do something to challenge myself – that I could accomplish. After failing class after class in school I was ready to prove to myself that I could accomplish something – ANYTHING. That … More RSVP (Ride from Seattle to Vancouver and Party) Day 1
So I finally accomplished another thing on my list of New Year’s Resolutions – run a half marathon! Yesterday I ran in the Seattle Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon. This whole time I thought my next blog entry would be about the things I wish I had known, or the things I had done better … More Thoughts While Doing The Rock n’ Roll Seattle Half Marathon
Last year Matt did the Tulip Pedal, a bike ride up in La Conner, WA where they have the annual Skagit Tulip Festival every year. Him and our group of biker friends had done the 60 mile ride and it apparently kicked their asses. But regardless, Matt told me he thought it would be a … More Tulip Pedal & Seahawks 12k
Last week I was talking to a friend of mine who was asking me for running advice. While I’m semi used to a friend asking me every so often for work out advice (ie. weights, etc.) I have never been asked for advice on running before. I’ve been working out at the gym since I was … More Running Advice From an Amateur
It has been awhile since I’ve updated. It makes me sad but alas – school and work is keeping my occupied and consumes my every waking hour. Except when it’s not being consumed by some sort of work out! I learned a really long time ago that the best way for me to de-stress is by … More De-stressing with Exercise
A few weeks ago I was talking to Matt’s brother Zack about a pre-workout powder he’s been using when he goes to the gym. He said it helped get you pumped up for the workout ahead. I was rather intrigued, however not enough to go out and buy some at that moment. A few days … More Assault Energy & Greenlake Gobble
I have been running since March 30th and have been using the same pair of running shoes that I bought over a year and a half ago. Granted I had not been running as consistently as I do now, but I was using them for the gym and the occasional bike ride. Needless to say … More New Running Shoes
