Welcome Saudi Arabia! El Salvador! Czech Republic! and Taiwan! I have to confess, one of the best parts of blogging is keyword analysis. You can use StatCounter.com or GoogleAnalytics but learning the details of this site just cracks me up. Particularly when I discover we have readers from every continent except Antarctica (come ON South Pole […]

Yesterday I blogged about the elitist idiots that stick up their noses at the racing masses courtesy of the NY Times article. (Note elitist is not to be confused with elite) So I’m obsessed with the San Francisco 1st half marathon. I have to finish a 1/2 or Full in SF to get my California […]

This time, though, I felt MUCH more prepared. Not physically, of course, I’ve been doing nothing but stationary bike workouts for weeks. Gear-wise though, my race bag was packed with all relevant staples: My Blister kit included: underwrap (that’s actually for taping ankles so I’m not sure why I took it but you never know). […]

On a side note, this picture is of the Long Beach Sports Arena next to the race starting line. I lived in the area for three years before I realized it was not actually the Long Beach Aquarium (LOL). You might have seen images of this building earlier this year on Earth Day when Wyland […]

Continuing yesterday’s theme of the Long Beach half marathon. Let me just say waking up in the dark is a lot less frustrating when you don’t have to worry about an awkward pre-dawn commute and shuttle schedules. And yes, I mean PRE dawn. Fortunately by the time I had to get behind my wave sign […]
