I love the Los Angeles Marathon. You can’t beat the crowds and the cheers. But it’s not an easy marathon. With 900+ feet of elevation gain, plus the potential to be hot and sunny, it doesn’t make for “fast” times. Can you run fast at the Los Angeles Marathon? Of course, you can run fast

The NORTIV Nimbus shoe is designed for athleisure, making it a great option for the gym or when on the go. However, for running, you might prefer something with a bit more cushion or support. I was excited to try the NORTIV Nimbus, as it is touted to feel like clouds under your feet—a sensation

I was shocked at how challenging the LA Big 5K course is. If you are looking for a flat, fast 5K course, this isn’t it. If you are looking for a challenging 5K with 8,000 people, it’s an awesome option. I opted to run the LA Big 5K as an easy shakeout run before the

I was excited to try the SiS Hydro Tablets. We know by now, staying hydrated not just with water but electrolytes is essential for athletic performance. The Science in Sport Hydro Tablets are deigned to keep you hydrated. Plus the Cola have caffeine. When I first tried them, I was surprised at how flavorful the

I was somewhat excited to try the New Balance SuperComp Trainer v2. To be real, I was never a huge fan of the original version and I hoped the second version was overall better. To me, the original felt clunky and just not up to par with other “super trainers”. I always feel in the

I was excited for the Screenland 5K in Culver City, California. It takes place on the day of the Oscars, and you are supposed to dress up as movie characters. Naturally, I decided on Maverick from Top Gun. Slightly cringe, since I work with pilots. I thought about running in a real flight suit but

February was supposed to be my “peak month” of training for the Los Angeles Marathon. However, I can’t seem to catch a break with marathon training during the last two cycles, and I found myself sick from the second through almost the fourth week of February. More on that later. Miles Run: 267 miles Range

Welcome, If your weather is antyhing like mine, it’s windy. Living in the Mojave Desert, our spring months are super windy. I’m not talking a little breezy, I am talking that I have seen our neighbor’s trampoline take flight and launch a few houses down. (And yes that is a new fear unlocked…who knew). Spring

I was excited to go to the Everglades Gator Grill on the way to the actual Everglades. It’s been a minute since I’ve reviewed a diner (something I say a lot now living on the west coast…so many less diners). Anyway, I found the Everglades Gator Grill since it was right on the way to

I was excited to try the Brooks Glycerin 21. I’ve been a fan since the Glycerin 14. Yeesh, time flies. The Glyucerin is known to be soft and cushioned, without being too soft. Throughout the years, I’ve never felt like I’m running on marshmallows or that I can’t run fast. I’ve always been a fan
