Ragnar So. Cal Race Recap
This past weekend I ran my first Ragnar Relay from Huntington Beach to San Diego, officially known as Ragnar So. Cal. I wanted to share my experience but please note that it's hard to capture it all on paper. The feeling of camaraderie, teamwork, adrenaline and exhaustion create a unique and wonderful experience. It's harder …

And no matter how pretty a course or how interesting the route we (Lisa, my running partner in crime and I) select, a long …
Spring Fling
Back in the day. Waaaay back in the day (pre kids, pre marriage) when I used to "go to the gym" I loved the Lifecycle. I'd bring a magazine, my clear plastic magazine holder, my Walkman and grab a bike. After adjusting the seat so I was 3 holes "high", I'd hop on, take my …
