Anniversary Half
This past weekend I ran my 5th half marathon when I completed See Jane Run Half again! It marked the anniversary of my very first half and I wanted to try out the same course with a new perspective. I've been training and was hoping to best my original time of 2:05:31...
Taking Spidey Up Spiderman

July Awesomeness

San Diego Half – Results Edition
I started my birthday month off with a BANG traveling down to San Diego to run a half-marathon with some members of The Group. We stayed with our running Mo-Pho friend Lee and his lovely family. I've got lots and lots of pics to share, but for now, I'll just say it...
