Berkeley Marina

8 miles at the berkeley Marina, baby! With my favorite running buddies, Mark and Alex. This was a nice run despite the fog and wind, because unlike Redwoods, it was FLAT!

Track!

Woo hoo! Look at me go. Go me go. Go go go. I'm down to an 11 minute mile now, but as per usual, I still have problems with push ups, the bane of my existence. Why? WHYYYYY?

Redwood Road

After running in the redwoods, and man that hill was steep, and yes, it is as hot as it looks.

after running mr. big-ass-hill. Fo serious. It was vertical.

saltily running along

Did a nice, salty 5.5 mile run last week at point isabel. It was gorgeous! However, if I had known we were going to run right by costco, I would have brought my wallet. Though, you know, that would have meant I would have been running back with a shopping cart.

Did the lake yesterday, and really had to pee the whole time which made me run a ton faster. I'm still always last though! What is it with me? I'm only 26, and have lost 20 pounds in the last 3 years, and have a fair amount of muscle, yet can't seem to keep up with anyone. O wellllll.

Thanks to my newest donors!

push ups are the bane of my existence

Why? Why can I not do push ups? During circuit drills we need to do 4 or 5 sets of 20. I can make it up to 15 each time before my arms give out, and that's "girl push ups". AAAH!

As illustrated, Alex powers on while I hug myself and ask why? whyyyy?

Halfway there!

My shoes are no longer white after saturdays run!

Last weekend I ran 7 miles. I'm sure everyone's tired of hearing about it, but it's the farthest I've ever run, and the run was a killer. We ran in redwood park in the Oakland hills. The trail was steep, hilly, rocky, muddy and yes, it rained because we ran through clouds. It was a really pretty run, but man. Those hills were nearly vertical and I was worried I would slip at some points.

For me, the first 2 miles are always the worst, and after that it gets easier.

Recommitment is this week, which is pretty crazy. I'm excited because I'm nearly at halfway to my minimum, but still have a ways to go.

I really want to do this race, so I'm hoping I make the minimum...

Thanks to my newest set of donors!
