Thank You Nike?

Yes. Thank you Nike. How did you know that the first thing I want to read in my email in the morning is that “not all Sports Bras are Created Equal”… Yes, thank you for supporting my sport[ READ MORE ]

Running 2010

Well I guess it’s that time again. Time to seriously consider what races I’m going to train for and maybe even more importantly which of those I’m NOT. For those you you that know me I’ve trained for the Chicago marathon for the past three years (and I greatly thank you all for still being [ READ MORE ]

Encouraging Feedback Makes Customers Feel Like You Care

They’ve gone and done it again. They just keep me coming back for more… No. Not a crack dealer but you’re close! Nike. This year I was convinced that by buying something related to the Chicago Marathon I’d somehow jinx myself and not finish the race. So this time around I made sure I waited [ READ MORE ]

Cheer for me at the Chicago Marathon…PLEASE!?

I’m not too proud to beg…I’ll need all the help I can get Here’s where I will likely be on marathon day (Sunday Oct 11) at a 12 minute mile pace (I run very slow so if you are watching others, I take a much longer time to pass you by). Likely I will slow [ READ MORE ]

I really might be crazy…

I’m thinking about doing a half marathon next year in Beijing!? It’s part of the Great Wall marathon, I’d just be doing the half. I’m sure that will be challenging enough considering the hills, not to mention the poor air quality. I’ll keep you posted as I find out more! The link below shows the [ READ MORE ]

Look at how far we’ve gone!

Back in April myself and 11 other people ran in the 199 mile relay race in the San Fransico area. It was a great race to say the least. It was actually the funnest weekend I think I’ve had this whole year so far! (Exhausting but definitely a blast) Little did I know but some [ READ MORE ]

My Half-Marathon a month plan

As mentioned in a previous post (B-school Bound) , at the start of the year I made a resolution to run a half marathon each month this year. I think I may have been on a runner’s high because that’s just non-sense (at least for me). I very much love to run but being 5 [ READ MORE ]
