Need to push self to do a long run today. Right now I'm something like 73 km behind for marathon training! Blech!

Did a practice 15K tonight in 1:29. I'm worried about my right knee which is starting to bother me at about mile 6-7. Hopefully the course will be smooth sailing and the weather is nice. My goal is to finish in less than 1:30.

Race day preparation and Marathon Expo tomorrow!

Gotta run at LEAST 16K today. Already 41K behind!!

Finished 10-miler in 1:28 after taking 2 days off. So that's how you do it!!

Trying to increase mileage slowly. Goal will be 30 miles per week.

Doctor prescribed stretching exercises to pull the kneecap back into proper position: single quad stretches, hamstring stretch (sitting and standing), and static quads. Patellofemoral pain syndrome comprises up to 50% of overuse injuries! That's the problem among people who are active in sports...

Was able to do 10K all week in under an hour. I have to work on speed work next, more consistent interval training. I need to find a running coach..

Today I ran 12 km in a decent 1:06. I've started doing intervals, although my timing is not perfect. Interval training seems to help my speed AND endurance. I've got to get back on track for marathon training!

I know I need to train today but the legs are still sore esp. the calves. Different muscle groups hurt today. So I've got Tues, Thurs, Fri to do long runs, 8-10 milers. I've got to be ready for Sunday.

Felt blah today.
Ran 14.26 km in 1:25, which is about 5:58 min/km. Burned about 720 calories! Feel much better.

Still behind 25 km for marathon training! Blech!

Took tonight off from running. Body is sore from the weekend's exercise, was it the (short!!) run or yoga?!

Was looking at apartments near the Marina and GG park. It would be great to find a place near the park! Route for 10 miler was beautiful and offered vistas of the GG bridge and the Bay.

Was looking at apartments near the Marina and GG Park. Didn't realize how nice it is around there! Plus being near a park is great, both for running and for a dog. Sports Basement is home base for the SFRRC, I guess. Which running club to join?

I forgot how much I love running in San Francisco!

I've been collecting running shoes. Right now I'm alternating between Gel Kayanos & Gel Oberons. I got another pair of Gel Kayano trainers, another pair of Air Pegasuses and a pair of Nike Shox Turbo+ in pink! I prefer the Asics to the Nikes for performance, but the Nikes win for stylishness.

Ran 9 km tonight, but feel like the right knee is starting to bother me again. I'm going to try different shoes to see if it makes a difference.

Legs feel fine today. Did a quick-paced 10K in 57:59 while watching Anthony Bourdain in India. Hour goes by quickly watching that guy!

Jamba Juice Xterra Mountainman Triathlon! 750m swim, 20k bike, 6km run. Probably the toughest trail run I've done. Even though the distance was short, it felt next to impossible to make it up the mammoth mountain. About halfway, I stopped seeing mile markers , and somehow I got off the trail, ended up running probably a mile or mile and a half more than everybody else. Nevertheless, I finished. WE FINISHED. Ya-hoo!

Race day preparation and Marathon Expo tomorrow.

Race day preparation and Marathon Expo tomorrow!

Updated running schedule! Read that you should plan to do 1/2 the distance of the event in preparation so I'll do the half marathon then taper.

Yay! Bananaman Chase was fun! Got a photo op w/Taizo.

Got up at 5am to run this morning. What is wrong with that picture?! ;)

Marathon Readiness Series Norman Tamanaha 15K: one down, four to go! Got to run with Jas!

Had a great 15K race this am! Weather was perfect, slight rain at the start which was marvelous, then stayed cool until the last 30 minutes. Finished in 1:27:57 which was awesome since my goal was 1:30. Didn't see Mike, but heard he was close behind. Leg problems aside, I think I did pretty well.

Did a nice slow 10K today after taking a week off. I don't know if you're supposed to rest for more than five days but the body rules and the body said REST. I also switched out my running shoes and had some calibration issues with my Nike+ sensor. I don't know why I keep trying to calibrate the damn thing when it's more accurate uncalibrated. I'm now 34 km behind from last week, but if I do at least 40 km this week I'll still be on target for marathon trng.

On 08.31.08, Nike is putting on the World’s Largest Running Event. The 10k will be the ultimate runner experience. Nike has organized 25 physical race cities, but the Nike+ Human Race is truly open to everyone, everywhere. Simply use Nike + iPod to track your miles on race day and then download miles on nikeplus.com to have your results officially counted as part of the race.

Finished in 51:55!

Registered for the 51st RRCA National Convention "Bridge to the Future" in San Francisco.

Ferry Building 4M: finished in about 36 min! Weather was very, very cold and I was unprepared clothing wise. Started to warm up after about mile 2. There were about 100 runners (?) most of whom were DSE Running Club members. Of course I was the only one from HI. Course ran from Ghirardelli Square to Ferry Building and back. I noticed I don't get as tired running in cold weather which makes for a good thing when I return.

Run SFM!! Finished my first marathon! Yay!

5K Personal Record set 25:59!! Felt strong and fast, but ran out of steam at the end. Course was out and back along the beach - doesn't get much nicer than that!

Getting back into training mode.

Finished virtual half marathon in 2:27:59, plus a Tiffany keychain to boot! I'm tired...

RUN LIKE A GIRL with 20,000 other women at The Nike Women's Marathon, a Marathon and Half Marathon in San Francisco benefiting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. These spots are coveted, as the race sold out in three days last year! IT'S ALL ABOUT THE LADIES!
Official Finisher Necklace designed by Tiffany & Co.
Nike Dri-FIT Finisher T-shirt in women's sizes (unique to full and half participants)
RACE DATE:
Sunday, October 19, 2008


RACE LOCATION: Union Square, San Francisco, CA.

Memory Walk 2008- was a nice day, but really HOT. Didn't break former 5K best but finished in 27:27. First place for age group. Yay!

Yay, San Francisco Baby!!

Day 1
24 week marathon training starts today! From my training schedule it looks like my long run days (13K-16K) are going to fall on Mondays. Did a crappy 10K in 1:06 after not running for more than two weeks.

9 1/2 weeks left to train for Honolulu Marathon.

9 1/2 weeks left to train for Honolulu Marathon.

Had a good run tonight after taking off two nights. I've been so lazy this week, this has gotta stop if I'm going to make a dent in marathon training...

Legs feel much better so did a leisurely 10K tonight- got distracted watching gnarly tumor surgeries on TLC. Wondering how to train for Sunday's 15K. Right now I'm screwed for half marathon training, behind like 120 km.

Continuing to have leg problems. Am now 145 km behind for marathon training, I am screwed!

Back in training mode again. Did a decent 11k in 62 min. If I run 2 more 15K's this week I'll have 40 km for this week's training schedule.

Talking to Jen about doing the SF marathon this year. Four months to train? Hmm

Feeling better than yesterday but legs still felt weak. Maybe didn't eat enough today? Ran 11.02 km, 1:01. STILL 25 km behind!

Finally made an appointment with the sports medicine doctor after finally deciding to get the knee checked out. Revised marathon training schedule:: (Click for the Link ...)

Got the Runner's World Training Diary, record keeping starts today!

OFF TO SAN FRANCISCO!

40 days and counting until SFM~!

Working on race schedule for 2010.

Signed up for The Presidio 10! This is a great fun run in the Bay Area that benefits The Guardsmen and The Ashyln Dyer Foundation. This family oriented run will take place on March 29, 2009 in the Presidio of San Francisco. You can choose to either run a 10 mile course or a 10 kilometer (6.2 miles) course. Both of the courses are incredibly scenic and will start and finish at Crissy Field and go over and back on the Golden Gate Bridge. Sweet.

Going back to San Fran baby!
