Today was a great training day. I hit the pavement early along with a friend, Ellen (she did AIDS LifeCycle last year and is signed up for 2009 as well). We ventured down San Vicente – then south to pick up a friend of hers.
We wanted some mileage – but kept it simple [...]

I had a great workout today…I mean, FANTASTIC! You know the kind…where you could go and go and go! I felt strong and confident the entire time (it’s about TIME!).

City of Angels Half Marathon – 2008

Today was the City of Angels Half Marathon.
The day began at 4:00 a.m. It took every ounce of my being to not bury myself under the covers and fall back asleep. To be totally honest, I did shut off the alarm and dozed in and out for 15 minutes. My better half [...]
