I'm running a 10K this weekend (The Giant Race) in San Francisco. It's a pretty cool event offering a half marathon, as well as the 10K, a 5K and a kid's race. The starting line is outside of AT&T Park, home of the World Champion SF Giants, and the 10K course takes you along the waterfront, …

Building the Base
My 16 week marathon training plan kicks off on August 15th and I'm preparing for that by building up my running base. So it's like I'm training for my training. I know, right?! I usually run 3 or 4 times per week and in fact, I've even trained for marathons only running 3 or 4 …
Race Report
I ran in the inaugural Bank of Marin Running Festival over the weekend and was put on by Titanium Racing. Overall it was a very well-organized race and the course was pretty. When registering there was a choice of the 5K, 10K, or half marathon. I wasn't up to the mileage to comfortably tackle the …
All Kinds
I'm running a race today, The Levi's Presidio 10, to be precise. It's benefitting The Guardsman and there's a 10 mile, 10k, or 5k option route so it draws a diverse group of runners and walkers. Plus the course starts along the water in SF and except for the 5k, takes you across the Golden …

Tips for Success!
One very valuable tricks I've learned when training for races is visualization. I don't visualize winning because that's just not going to happen, but I do try and visualize myself starting the race relaxed and feeling prepared and then I see myself at mile 15 and how strong I feel. I see myself crossing the …
I’ve Got My Cranky Pants On Again!
I just went online to register for the 2011 NY Marathon and had to lift my jaw from the floor once I saw the registration fee. It's a whopping $196 to run this race. Plus and $11 application fee. No doubt that this is a premier race and frankly, one of my favorites, but over …
All By Myself
During races I have grand plans of running with a pace group or my friends. Unfortunately these plans rarely stick and I often end up running alone. While I don't mind my solo running there are strategies and mental adjustments that I need to make, especially during a half or full marathon. Runner's World posted …
