Race Report: Freihofer’s Run for Women 5K

running, travel / 11 Comments

It was supposed to rain and thunderstorm all morning, and I was thrilled. Unlike most races, where I dread the sight of rainclouds, I was hoping that the storms might keep some people home from the race and make it easier for me to fight way through the crowds at the start. However, no such luck. Although it looked like it might rain, there were no drops falling from the sky, and as I got in the car, I told my mom that I was disappointed. It was probably going to rain, but because it wasn’t raining already, it didn’t …

Impulsive moves: joining a running club and signing up for two 5Ks

running, travel / 11 Comments

Still not done with the marathon race report, but I did accomplish some running-related things tonight: signed up for two 5Ks, attended a pasta party for one of them, and joined a running club! Tomorrow is the Freihofer’s Run for Women, an annual 5K in Albany that attract a ton of elite talent every year. I’ve been attending since I was little, and last year was my first year running it. Basically everyone in the area who ever runs even 1/4 mile at the gym always does it, so last year I figured I’d throw my hat in. Unfortunately, with …

The maid was still doing turndown in my room when I got back to my hotel a few minutes ago. Is it pathetic that I was excited to have someone to come “home” to?

Race Report: Bay to Breakers

health and fitness, running, travel / 12 Comments

Chris said it best when he stated “I could not really call this a race report since B2B is more about the event and less about the actual run.” Also, I probably can’t really call this a race report since I didn’t register, I didn’t once run, I didn’t get a time, and I didn’t cross the finish line. But ignoring those minor technicalities, we’ll forge onward. The night before the race, we decided to cop out and pick up sheets at Mervyn’s (which is like the California version of Sears) and make togas as costumes. Yeah, we’re pretty lame. …

I left my heart in San Francisco

travel / 7 Comments

I don’t know that song, but I think it’s meant to imply that San Francisco is an amazing city and that your heart gets broken by leaving. Totally not the case for me, but I did meet a great guy there that I’m sad to leave. Why is it that I only meet guys who live in cities that are several hour flights from wherever I am? London, San Francisco… now all I have to do is alt-travel to Thailand or something and I’m sure to meet the love of my life. Wow, what a day. I’m currently at SFO …
