[...] California International Marathon-I really really REALLY wanted a BQ for this race. (Do you sense a trend here?) Net downhill, enough said. To be clear, I realized after this race that “net downhill” is not the same as downhill, duh. Also, didn’t help that the weather was in the 20’s and I was wearing a running skirt and tank top (but with gloves!). Yeah, not the smartest move on my part, but I figure since I had no idea what 20 something degree weather felt like, I might as well go all out in what I would normally wear in 80 degree weather. How come someone didn’t slap me when I was packing my suitcase *ahem B*. Needless to say, not my best race, actually my worst time to date, but I felt pretty good during/after the race, despite the almost-frostbitten hands and toes. The race itself wasn’t memorable, but I had a blast going up to Sacramento with a group of friends and those are the memories I’m mostly taking away from this race.

Hey, I just stumbled upon your blog whilst searching for a marathon runner’s lasagne. What a cool blog. I’m well impressed at your races this year. I would like to call myself a marathon runner but having only ever done one I think that might be pushing it. I’ve been injured, ill, over-worked, you name it, since I did the Loch Ness Marathon in 2007.
I’m signed up for London though this year – here’s hoping I make the start line. I am also interested in running the Humboldt Red Wood Marathon, which is in your neck of the woods. No pun intended. Have you heard of it?

Hey! I did see you tonight at the track – pink shorts? I was locked out of the front entrance on Civic Center.

Great write up!
I’m sorry the cold didn’t agree with you, believe me I am a local and even this was pretty extreme for us!

Aw thank you! I don’t have any other writing on my running besides this blog. I mostly do race recaps which you can look under “Photos & Races” on the top. It used to be a running blog, but I switched it over to focus more on food. I should start writing more about my running and training plans etc. Let me know if you have any questions!

AT, I was gonna say something about your gluten cupcakes but I ran into this marathon posting on the way. Read it all. Although I don’t know you, I felt like I was feeling you through this marathon, pulling for you, etc. I’m proud & happy for your accomplishment!

I’m no marathoner, hell, no runner period. But, do you have other writings on your running?
