Changing training plans for the LA marathon
by Chic Runner
posted February 1, 2010 at 5:05pm
So since I decided to run the LA marathon instead of focusing solely on the Surf City half marathon as I had originally thought of, that means training has to be mixed up big time. No more short runs for me, especially with all the non-running I’ve been...more

posted January 28, 2010 at 8:33pm
I have had a few easy days and tried to rest as much as possible. I have run once or twice a day and only in a slow pace. The side walks are nightmares now. Snow and road salt = bad combination.

Part of me wished my camera had been tucked away in my pocket. The other part of me knew that even if I had it, there really was no stopping the morning run.
The pre-dawn sky was starting to lighten and the houses along the waterfront glowed as the str...more
