San Diego truly is a lovely city. But, does it really deserve the moniker “America’s Finest City”? The organizers of the half marathon this past weekend seem to think so and use that slogan as the race’s namesake. Regardless of whether you agree w...more

Last night, I went looking through some of my favorite books for an inspirational quote. It’s not something I do often, but I was in the mood for a bit of motivation from outside myself. But I failed to find anything that spoke to me. So I turned on an ...more

I was pushing back the puke factor after the warmup. Not because the warmup was hard or because the weather conditions were brutal or because of illness. Nope. The puke factor was rearing its head early on because I was scared. Scared of the track. I coul...more
