Five yoga poses I suck at

I have been going to yoga about three times a week for about a year and a half.  Although I spent many years thinking I didn’t like yoga, I was transformed and am now a full-on Santa Monica yoga yuppie lady. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I like to run and have used … Continue reading

What not to wear

For most of my running life, I never paid much attention to the clothes I wore. In fact, it was almost like a badge of pride for me. Real runners, I argued to myself, didn’t need to go out and spend a ton of money on fancy workout clothes. I would feel somewhat superior when … Continue reading

Things I see running in LA

LA is a weird place, but despite the smog and urban sprawl, has some nice areas for running. I have enjoyed my long runs here on the west side, mostly because there are nice beach paths.

Thoughts on social media and inadequacy

In starting this blog I said that I often want to talk about my hobbies (running, etc.) with others, but don’t like broadcasting them on social media because it seems self indulgent. I’ve realized that this sentiment is something that Ive also found out about life in general in the “Facebook era,” and it can … Continue reading

Nike Free-Marathon Shoe?

A few years ago, my mom (who also runs and is way faster than me, no comment) read Born to Run and really got into barefoot running. She started with the Nike Free and then moved onto the five fingers (TOE SHOES). Then she got injured and doesnt wear them anymore. I decided to give … Continue reading
