How ‘ya livin’ Biggie Smalls?
In Mansions & Benzes
Givin’ ends to my friends & it feels stupendous. . .
Ok, ok. . .I don’t drive a Benz & my house is more like a beach cottage (if you’re feeling charitable & don’t deem dishwashers a necessity) than a mansion. Also, not to ruin…
A few years ago, I had the pleasure of helping to organize an after school running program for kids at the Monarch School. These kids are exactly like all the other runners that I’ve coached:
They love to run, especially if it was at the beach.
They love to complain about running, but only at…
When was the last time you were completely and unapolagetically satisfied with a race? Even a workout? I stumbled across this video recently. It’s worth the 12′ and change it takes to watch it:
We’ve heard ad nauseum that a positive outlook leads to better performance, but if our definition of success is tied…
Happy Veterans Day! Andy & I took advantage of the 3 day weekend by hightailing it up to Santa Barbara for the half marathon. His mom, brother, Jason, & Jason’s girlfriend, Elisa, all ran too. Yep, it was a family affair!

Since I live half my life in spandex, or at least it seems,I’m thrilled to be working with Brand Betty Designs to design my race kit this year!
