Coached Run

The summer season has officially started! We had a large group but not everyone was there...hint hint...to my mentees! I did see Erin, Sarah (pictured) & May! Great job to you all. It was a beautiful day and everyone did a fabulous job. I'll see many of you this Tuesday for our first buddy run at the Berkeley Marina. Go Team!

TNT : Summer 08 : Team Blaze

I've done it once again! I'll be mentoring for my 4th? time this summer for Team Blaze. We will be training for the Nike Woman's 1/2 and full marathon. I've run the full once and the half twice..now what am I going to do? I've met several of my mentees already and they all seem wonderful and very excited to start training. Check back often as I'll be putting up more posts for the season. I'll also be fundraising with my mentees so check back to donate for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society mission to cure cancer.(ps: Don't try burning your sneakers to get out of the 5:50 am track workout...even if they are as ugly as these Air Jordans...not a smart idea)

Girls gone Wildflower

Three cheers to my girls; Odessa, Michelle & Meg who successfully completed their first olympic distance triathlon. I was very proud spectator! I had to miss all the fun since I was busy being "Hollywood" during training season. The movie better be good because I was quite sad not to race with them. They kicked ass! And I smashed the shit out of this watermelon right after this shot.

NY Marathon 07

The most fun I've had running 26.2 miles. I highly recommend this marathon to anyone trying to decide which one to do. Be prepared though and take a sleeping bag and very warm clothes to the start. We waited over 4 hours lying on cardboard inside trash bags before the race started...not fun! I couldn't wait to run once that was over with. So many runners, so much support and cheering. I'd do it all over again. Not to mention I had my PR at this race! woo hoo.
