It's a been a while since I've run a half marathon (over 2 years to be exact), so I was really stoked to find out that I would be running the upcoming Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon & Half! Since I'm not quite ready for a full marathon, I'll be participating in the half marathon… Continue reading 5 Dope Perks about the Carlsbad Marathon/Half Marathon!
One of the perks of being a BibRave Pro from Bibrave.com is that I get to test out running products for free in exchange for an honest review. How cool is that?! The first product that I had the opportunity to try was the Buff® USA. You might be asking yourself, "What's Buff®??" Well, I'm here to… Continue reading Buff® USA Review
I recently ran The Color Run a.k.a the happiest 5k on the planet and it was a blast! I will start off by saying that I ran this race for free (more on that later) and it was held in a much more scenic location than last year - at the Waterfront Downtown! It was also… Continue reading The Color Run (All-Star 5k)
Last month I participated in the inaugural Imperial Beach 5k Beach Run. I was little hesitant to register since it's the organization's first race and I prefer all of the kinks to be worked out before I participate in a race. But they offered a promo code and a military discount so I only paid about… Continue reading Imperial Beach 5k
Last month, I had the opportunity to attend Ashley Horner's Camp Valor Boot Camp here in Coronado.

Packet pick-up was the day before at Movin Shoes in Pacific Beach. It's a tiny store, so I was in and out pretty fast. Here… Continue reading Margarita 5k
Last weekend I participated in the Mardi Gras run (a Wiz Event) and it was definitely a fun, but smaller event. This race had 4 options: 15k, 10k, 5k run, and 5k walk - I chose the 5k run. The 5k was $40 and I used a $5 off discount code which brought the total with… Continue reading The Mardi Gras Run!
Over the weekend I participated in the Super Run 5k/10k. Just a side note: there is also another Super Run that is being held next month, but that is a Super (hero) run...this one was called the Super Run (a Kathy Loper event) because it was held on Super Bowl weekend. The race started at 7:30 am… Continue reading Super (Bowl) Run 5k/10k
Well, I experienced my first Color Run (not to be confused with Color me Rad) last weekend and it definitely exceeded my expectations! I wasn't sure what to expect exactly as I don't typically participate in gimmick runs, but I thought I would give this one a shot as it's a pretty hyped up event. If I only… Continue reading The Color Run! (San Diego)
