Hey, hey, hey! Since we last talked, I’ve been hopping all around the east coast and have lots of randomness to catch you guys up on. So let’s begin my recap on the east coast tour with my first stop…Atlanta! Atlanta After my marathon on Sunday, I caught a red-eye to Atlanta to take a … More East coast tour
This marathon was unlike any other for me. As I’m sitting down and writing out the details, it’s a bit hard this time to recall the race since it all just kind of flew by. I usually have a dramatic story to tell, complete with overcoming “hitting the wall” and learning approximately 15 life lesson … More California International Marathon race recap
Hey y’all! Saying hi from from Atlanta, my first stop of many over the next four weeks. I’m basically hopping all around the east coast living out of a backpack until the end of the year, with the last stop being my parent’s home in New York – my first visit back since moving to SF…I couldn’t … More CIM update!!
Back when I was looking for Thanksgiving weekend plans, I decided to book a solo-trip to Santa Cruz to take surfing lessons (and because the last thing I wanted was to be alone in my apartment all weekend). When I found out Karan and Matt were also Thanksgiving strays, my solo-trip became turned into the … More Thanksgiving weekend in Santa Cruz
And just like that, Thanksgiving weekend is over. I don’t know about you guys, but I am completely pooped from all the fun this past weekend. I have lots to recap and so I’ll split this weekend into two posts – one on actual Thanksgiving day and one on the weekend following. 🙂 I wasn’t … More Adopted for Thanksgiving + week 12 of marathon training
Hello, hello! Happy Thanksgiving week! This is my first year ever not spending Thanksgiving with my family in upstate New York, and I’m not gonna lie, I’m missing my family like crazy this week. Luckily I had my other “fam” here in California to ring in Thanksgiving with this past weekend before we all go … More Weekend with the fam + Friendsgiving dinner
Yesterday I had 20 miles on the plan – the longest run of the entire cycle. I knew this one was super important since I’m two weeks away from CIM and really needed to finish this as a confident boost. Even though the pressure was on, the entire time I thought:Â I’m gonna miss this SO … More Week 11 of marathon training + I’m really going to miss this
This past weekend I had the amazing privilege of being a bridesmaid for my oldest friend in the world, Shaolin. We’ve known each other since we were babies when our parents met at my hometown church. My earliest memory of us two was taking swim lessons at the YMCA together – Shaolin was fearless and … More Shao’s wedding weekend in Texas
Between recovering from my half marathon and traveling this past weekend, I didn’t get too much running in the last week. I flew down to Texas on Friday for my very good friend Shao’s wedding, where I was actually in the wedding party! I was hoping to sneak in a few miles between all the … More Week 10 of marathon training + life comes firstÂ
This race completely exceeded my expectations, and I think it’s because I entered it having zero. I signed up for the race 5 days before as a way to liven up my usual long run, and also to hopefully get some motivation for the California International Marathon (CIM) in 4 weeks, and boy did it … More Golden Gate Half Marathon race recap
