Tales From the Back of the Pack: March 2011
http://www.talesfromthebackofthepack.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tales From the Back of the Pack. Tales From the Back of the Pack. Monday, March 21, 2011. The Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Marathon. Otherwise know as the LA Marathon March 20, 2011. I fully admit at least half of it was my fault. I hadn't trained properly. I'd gained 6lbs over the holidays and couldn't shake them off. I stayed up way too late on too many nights watching Jersey Shore reruns. I just wasn't motivated. But first things first and that means the pre-race Expo and packet pick up! Were wh...

Tales From the Back of the Pack: October 2011

Tales From the Back of the Pack. Tales From the Back of the Pack. Tuesday, October 25, 2011. RAGNAR RELAY LAS VEGAS Recap. 188 miles, 36 legs, 12 runners, 2 vans, 1 crazy race. Or something like that. The Ragnar Relay is now over and I'm left with great memories, sore hamstrings and the residual effects of sleep deprivation. We're gonna have some fun, now! We'd reserved a 1 bedroom condo (sleeps 4) and a 2 bedroom condo (sleeps 6). In addition there were 3 air mattresses, so bodies all over the place!

Tales From the Back of the Pack: June 2015
http://www.talesfromthebackofthepack.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tales From the Back of the Pack. Tales From the Back of the Pack. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. The real reason I love running? My Dodger par'ner / running buddy Val texted me about our planned run on Sunday morning. I've been very inconsistent with my running lately and when I confessed this to him I could tell he was disappointed in me. UGH! I hate to be a disappointment. So off we went on Sunday to tackle the Greenway Trail for 5 miles. Afterwards we went very nearby to have breakfast at Rocky Cola Cafe.

Tales From the Back of the Pack. Tales From the Back of the Pack. Tuesday, December 6, 2011. I don’t get sick. Every flu season everyone around me comes down with all the usual ailments, from colds to bronchitis to walking pneumonia and everything in between while I remain smug and uncongested. Well not this year. This year I come down with just a little ol' common cold that has put me out of commission since the 2. 65279;. NONE OF THIS STUFF WORKS! 65279;. 11:31 minute pace. I’ll take it.

Tales From the Back of the Pack: Struggling to stay motivated
http://www.talesfromthebackofthepack.com/2015/08/struggling-to-stay-motivated.html
Tales From the Back of the Pack. Tales From the Back of the Pack. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Struggling to stay motivated. It's been so hot in SoCal for the past few weeks. We've had record heat which is kinda normal but, oh, the. I'm lucky to have a running buddy to force me out of bed at the crack of 5:00am to go out to run. And I'm lucky to have a beautiful beach nearby to run on. How about these views? Seriously, what more could I ask for? Why can't this Stella find her groove? 5 miles is serious!

Tales From the Back of the Pack: May 2015
http://www.talesfromthebackofthepack.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tales From the Back of the Pack. Tales From the Back of the Pack. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Memorial Day Monday and Weigh In Update. Once again I'm (literally) running a day late! My Sunday long run happened on Memorial Day Monday instead. Monday morning I slept in for as long as I could, and when I finally ran out of excuses to avoid running, I got out of bed and set off for an 8 mile run that would take me past my usual pedestrian bridge turnaround and deep into uncharted neighborhoods. My friend Val and ...
