It was cold and wet enough that I wore long pants for the run. I hope it will be the only day this year I have to pull them out of the drawer. I was grateful that I had them and my legs were grateful that I wore them. So here's the recap of this …

Inspiration
I'm inspired by people every day. The elderly gentleman in the neighborhood who runs with his little dog about 20 feet in front of him, the women pushing baby joggers up the Las Gallinas hill, my daughter's belief that she is perfect exactly the way she is; boy shorts, self-cut bangs and all. I especially …
Try a Tri
I'm thinking about doing a triathlon this spring. Kim, one of our Heartbreak Ridge Runners told me about a race in San Rafael that takes place in April. It's called the Vineman Showdown ( http://www.vineman.com/showdown.htm) It's a quarter mile swim, 9 mile out and back bike ride and a 3 mile run. I own a …
Tip O’ the Week
There is not bad weather, only bad clothing choices. Every runner should have a few pieces of clothing in your running drawer (yes, I have a running drawer, three actually) that you can wear to protect yourself in the rain and or wind. Or snow, in case you travel to Buffalo and you get a …
Running the Ridge
Our Mary E. Silveira crew hit the hill again today. Heartbreak Hill (er Ridge, as Katie renamed it today) that is. Joining our fearsome threesome were three more Moms with the mostest. Shout out to Julie, Elisa and Kim who joined us for a bit before breaking off to parts unknown. Way to go ladies!! Next …
Rockin’ Resources
We runners are a nosy bunch. We want answers to our burning questions. Where's the closest 10K? How should I go about speed work? What should my pace be for an upcoming marathon? Where can I find inexpensive running shorts? Where can I find a trail map for Mt. Tam? In this day and age, …
Don’t be Daft
I almost ran into a runner last night. In my SUV. I mean, I wasn't really going to hit him, but I didn't see him at all until I was almost next to him. And no, it was not because I was on my cell phone or that my truck is so big I can't …
Take a Hike
Because I'm a runner, I don't walk much. I mean I walk from here to there or to the store and back, but I don't walk as any form of exercise. If I can go for a walk, I can just as easily go for a run. I know that sounds smug, but the truth …
Tip of the Week
Here's a simple tip to help you get organized for your running or exercise. Keep a duffle bag packed with essential gear so when you leave the house it's all together. Here's a sample of what I keep in my running bag and gym bag. Running Bag Ipod, headphones and charger in a makeup case, …
Running Circles Around Myself
I've deliberately avoided track workouts since I did one with Tamalpa Runners about 6 years ago. I joined the group with my friend Harold. We thought it would improve our running and help with our speed. One Tuesday evening we joined the group at the SR High track. We did a warm up through the …
