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. If you have not heard of Ashley Horner, she is a fitness guru, bodybuilder, competitor, triathlete, ultrarunner...you get the picture. But best of all, she's a mother of three and a military supporter. In addition to all of… Continue reading Ashley Horner – Camp Valor
Earlier this month I participated in the 8th annual Chula Vista Community 5k. The first thing that drew me to this run was that it's held at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. How cool is that?! You get to run around a venue where actual Olympic athletes have spent several hours training for… Continue reading Chula Vista Community Fun Run
Last weekend, I participated in the ACT (Autism Care & Treatment) Today! for Military Families 5k/10k in Fiesta Island (Mission Bay). I did the 5k last year and I really like the cause that this event supports, so this race was a must-do this year! This time was a little different, I completed the 10k (my… Continue reading ACT Today! for Military Families 5k/10k
I recently participated in the Margarita 5K in Mission Beach and it was definitely a blast! I used a coupon code for this race so I paid around $28 for this event. 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 month, I ran the Super Run in downtown San Diego. I learned about the run through Living Social so I only paid about $15 for this run. It was advertised as a family friendly fun run with a scenic course along the Marina district and Seaport Village in downtown San Diego. Costumes were encouraged and… Continue reading The Super (Hero) Run
In case you didn't have children (or weren't a super nerd like me), March 2nd is the birthday of Mr. Theodore Geisel a.k.a. Dr. Seuss. And every year , The San Diego Children's Discovery Museum in Escondido holds an event to celebrate Mr. Cat in the Hat himself as well as "Read Across America Day". I personally… Continue reading Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!
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
I really thought SoCal only consisted of beaches, mountains, and deserts. That was until I discovered Oma's Pumpkin Patch! It's an awesome little dairy farm located a little north of San Diego, in Lakeside. I really forgot where I was for a moment as I was driving to this farm along dirt roads and passing… Continue reading Oma’s Pumpkin Patch
