Since I knocked out a lot of “firsts” in 2012 I thought I’d do a quick recap of all the fun, exciting, sweaty, sometimes painful and tear-filled places it took me.
That’s ME!
February 2012: My first running-related adventure of the year wasn’t a race or a marathon, it was something total different, something I’ll never forget. In December 2011 I was lucky enough to be chosen by Newton Running to be featured Continue reading
I’m very selective when it comes to what I put my toes in, especially when it comes to running. I’m prone to getting blisters, after 2 years of running, numerous kinds of socks, different shoes, etc…, I STILL cannot nail down why I get them sporadically. I also have a bunion on my right foot (sexy, I know), which causes all sorts of problems with toe alignment. And lastly, Continue reading

Price: $45.00 Proceeds going to Keep-A-Breast Canada, and 15% of my registration was donated to Going Coastal.

Since running last year’s 1st Half Marathon and having had the opportunity to run in the streets of San Francisco for the Newton Running campaign in December, I’ve been dying to get back to the SF area to pound the pavement. After suffering through sickness and injury during last year’s race I’ve felt the need to redeem myself in one of my favorite cities as well as collect my “Half It All” spinner medal.

Me in my swim to bike transition. T1 at its finest form!
After a 15-year hiatus of no helmet hair and pain-free girl parts I’ve decided it’s time to get back on the saddle and ride again. I’ve been tossing around the idea of buying a bike for more than 6 months and ever since I started running I’ve had a vision of one day doing a triathlon and well, we all know, there’s no way of doing that without a bike.
