Late to post but the photos were too good not to share 😂 Balboa park 8 miler, exactly a week after Jack & Jill Marathon. May have been a little unorthodox for marathon recovery BUUUT there was FREE race photos and thankfully I felt decent enough to go have fun and get a PR from last year. (54:26/6:48mile) Had to hold my bib the whole time since I showed up with literally a minute to spare. Hopped the fence to get in the first wave and 30 seconds after that, the gun goes off. Holding the bib was not part of the plan but made for a memorable race and photo ops. Too much fun was had while in “marathon recovery”. #humbled #grateful #balboapark8miler #sandiegotrackclub #running #marathonrecovery #nike #nikerunning #nikevaporfly #runninrabbit #ciele #cieleathletics #garmin #strava #milestonerunning #santamujeresrc #tuesdayswaterfrontrun #lupus #lupusawareness #lupuswarrior #autoimmunedisease #vegan #plantbased

A great plus to the #balboapark8miler is you get your photos with your entry fee! Thanks @sandiegotrackclub When I ran this race in 2021, I was two weeks post marathon, but was in the shape of my life and surprised myself with my performance that day. This year I didn’t know how I’d stack up to my 2021 performance. I’m certainly not in sub-2:50 Marathon shape, but I know my turnover is better. I felt I could be in just as good a shape for a race of this distance, and hoped I had a shot at the overall masters title as I was a close 2nd last time. Thankfully the race went really well. Even with an off-course detour that added a 10th to my distance, I finished with a personal best time for this race. Still won the masters division, too, getting a nice gift basket, a Road Runner Sports gift card, and a bigger plaque (in the pic of me with SDTC president Jamie I don’t look so pumped about the little 5yr age group award) Now for some down time to recover from some hard months of training. I think I’ll do a 10 mile race the middle of September with a short build. That’ll start the fall season heading into Club Nationals XC in December where I’ll get my ass handed to me. p.s. - I was hoping race direction was going to place those scooters in the final pic at the top of zigzag hill. I could have used one. 🥴 . . . #runnerslife #runnerslifestyle #racehard #fitover40 #fastdad #dadrunner #socalrunner #calcoasttrackclub #runningcommunity

If you would have told me a week ago that I was capable of running 8 miles, I would have laughed! This was a big accomplishment for me and I’m proud of it. But, instead of spending anytime patting myself on the back, all I can think of is - what else am I capable of? Maybe it’s time to find out 😬😅🤷🏼♀️ Growth > Comfort Zones I am also super grateful that I got to run with my husband. He kept me at a realistic pace I could maintain, prevented me from getting bored, made me laugh, forced me to hydrate, and made it a special experience! 💜

So I did a thing! I ran the Balboa Park 8 Miler! It was a fun course running through Balboa park, the streets of San Diego, and even got to run through some trails.

March 2023 I started my run journey with 3 miles at a 13:46 pace. Today, I can run 3 miles at about a 10:37 pace. Decided to test myself and sign up for an 8 miler and I’m so glad I did. Pace was slow but that was expected. Excited to train some more for the next race with the squad. 🥶🙏🏼🏆 @allinrunningclub #sandiegorunners #balboapark8miler #runwithme #getbettertoday

Today I completed one more race of my running journey, the Balboa Park 8 Miler! 🏅 This is the oldest race in San Diego and I try to run it every year to support the San Diego running community. Thanks to @sandiegotrackclub and @sdrunningco for putting this event together once again! 🙌 : This race is challenging because there are changes in elevation throughout the course, so it’s hard to keep even pacing. The terrain is also a mix of road, grass, and sand/dirt with the steep Zig-Zag hill around mile 5-6 that slows you down considerably. On top of that, this is a Summer race, so it’s usually humid and it gets quite hot towards the end. 🥵 Today I had a great race. I knew I could give a strong effort but I didn’t have a specific goal for this race because I already started training for the NYC marathon and I’ve been running higher mileage, so my legs were not rested for this race but I assumed I was in shape to get a new PR on this course. : I felt pretty strong during most of the race. I tried to be a little conservative on the inclines, and I only struggled when I got to the Zig-Zag hill. I had to walk for a bit and couldn’t go up the hill in one go. It took a while for my HR and pace to recover after the hill, but eventually I got my legs flowing to a strong finish in 1:02:12 @ 4:49 min/km (or 7:46 min/mi). This finish time placed me at 7th place in my AG 30-34, and 30th female overall. I got a new PR on this course by 4+ minutes. I’m stoked to see where my training is leading me and I’m so thankful for my dear friends and teammates at B-Side who inspire me to train hard while having fun! 😉 : I’ve run this race 4 times and the progress was not always linear but I’m happy with it: 2019 - 1:12:25 2020 - No race (COVID-19) 2021 - 1:06:27 2022 - 1:07:38 2023 - 1:02:12 : I enjoyed seeing so many of my friends who ran and who volunteered during and after the race. The race vibes were uplifting and it was super well organized. If you haven’t done this race, you should. It will challenge you! 👊 Next up: AFC 5K! : #running #run #runner #sdrunners #runsd #sandiegorunners #runsandiego #racingteam #balboapark8miler #sdtc #sdrunningco #corrida #corridaderua

#balboapark8miler was a win for me today. The win for me was not about placement but for the running not feeling as difficult as my daily training. Every run for the past 60 or so days has been very hard. These hard days had me step away a little from my daily running. June with only a 156 miles and July with 176. 2018 I ran this race in 55 minutes and in 2021 I ran it in 58 minutes, today was a 62 minute finish time but I am very proud of giving it my best. Going to keep on showing up for myself and at some point I know the work I put in will show up and will see myself making positive progress. Thank you @fleetfeetsandiego for the support. Loved being out on the course with the SD running community. #raceday #runner #training #werunsd

Day 217 was the #balboapark8miler and I must admit, that was a tough one! It was the first (and maybe only) race of the year, so I was grateful to get up early, feeling good, and with the best support crew out there - @cassie_dexter_torti and Bourbon kept spirits up in a big way! The race went about as planned for the start, although I definitely noticed the pace start to creep during the middle of the race. Crossing the bridge the second time and heading towards the zoo had a little bit of a false flat before the race drops you down into the trail and to the biggest obstacle in the run. Zig zag hill kicked my butt, per usual, but @strava said I got a PR on it, so that was cool! Ultimately, my legs had a hard time recovering from the hill and the last couple miles definitely dragged a bit! I am so grateful to all those who took the opportunity to donate and support @frostedfaces. To those who asked to have your names on the shirt, thank you, and to those who kept their contributions anonymous, thank you! Frosted Faces is such a great part of our community, and I am glad this run helped raise some money for them! Swipe to the end to see just how sweaty your guy got this time around as well as a flashback to happier times celebrating with Dexter! 862.5 down, 269 miles to go! #5kaday #5k #10k #8miler #race #raceday #running #roadrun #trailrun #runbalboapark #runsandiego

I don't even need 1 full hand to count how many times I have gone for a run in the last 2 1/2 months... But the #BalboaPark8Miler still seemed like a good idea.

Very nice run through the park for the 69th Annual Balboa Park 8 Miler! #balboapark8miler #blackflagrunningclub
Ran the @sandiegotrackclub #balboapark8miler today. Plan was to just go out and try to complete the run under 70 mins, which to me I thought was still a stretch. But gotta have something to push ya through. Made it through the first 4 miles at around 8 min mile pace and felt good. Kept that pace pretty much the whole way through except for some spots that the hills got me toward the end, but still maintained damn near 8 min mile pace. Really happy with the run today! Finished 324th overall Finishing time: 1:06:56 Pace: 8:22 per mile 5K : 24:23 10K : 50:37 #honor #service #sacrifice #remembrance #militaryfit #navyfit #anchorstrong #navyfitness #journey #trusttheprocess #journey #captainamerica #Militaryfitness #militarymuscle #vistafit #califit #settheexample #dadbod #dadbodnomore #runcali

Day 216 is already in the books as I start the final prep for the #balboapark8miler Today was a bit cooler so I headed out for a morning run, hoping to have about 24 hours of recovery time before the race. I ran down in Poway so I could do a couple more errands, and was happy to catch a little bit of hills during the two miles of race pace running. I am happy with how comfortable a sub-7:30 min/mile pace felt, knowing that tomorrow I will probably end up straddling that pace for the most part. I finished the 5k with a slower final 1.1 miles and took some pics as I passed through Old Poway. Overall, a great run - having the total pace at 7:27 is a sign of good things for tomorrow (I hope)! I want to give another big thank you to everyone who has donated to @frostedfaces as part of the race tomorrow and a big thanks to everyone for their continued support in my running! I will be printing the shirt this evening and making a little bit of pasta, so it is still not too late to get your name/message on the shirt, if you want! Again, thank you all so much! 854.4 down, 277.1 miles to go! #5kaday #5k #running #roadrun #runpoway

Day 214 is in the books and some late movement was had. Yesterday was an unplanned day of rest, but delays in travel and a mini-pet emergency meant there were more important things to tend to than getting a jog in. All is well for the cat, so this evening I headed out for a slow run to get ready for the race. I checked on the class fish and headed out for a run on the typical Ramona loop. I planned to do a little bit of an interval run - 0.5 miles slow, 1.0 miles fast, 0.5 slow, 1.0 fast, slow the rest of the way - and while I followed the plan, I was a little disappointed by the pace on my "fast" segments. While 7:10/min miles is good, I had hoped with the day off and a bit of adrenaline with the #balboapark8miler coming up would mean some sub-7:00 miles. Still, I was happy with getting the run in, and I know running on Saturday will feel different! I am looking forward to that run and the movement leading up to it! As a reminder, this is a second-to-last call for donating to @frostedfaces and getting your name/message on the race day shirt!

The #5kaday journey has been a great experience, and the past month has been one of the best! July led to a first, as one goal was accomplished early enough to set a fourth goal for the month. The #10kfor10days challenge was a fun one, and helped set the bar for the month. After completing that, there was a readjustment and second set of big volume as I began getting ready for the #balboapark8miler and pushing myself a bit more than I had previously this year. In total, I ran 155.0 miles to average 5.0 per day for the month, and I was also able to keep accountability up, with a post for each day (even the six days without tracked movement). Ultimately, the only goal that has been elusive is the sub-21:00 5k, so that is the goal I will carry over for August. The other two are a little more conservative, as a major life event is expected in next month, so there is a strong chance there will be a realignment in many routines in our lives out here. In anticipation of that, I want to make sure there is space to make those changes, practice and prep for when it happens, and ultimately, keep the movement going. I am grateful for all the support I've received over the past seven months, and I cannot express how much it has meant. As I prepare for the first (and potentially only) race on my 2023 calendar, I am hopeful you will help support in a more concrete way as I am looking to raise money for @frostedfaces with my run this upcoming Saturday. They do incredible work and it is a cause near and dear to my heart - having Hook (as a foster) and Dexter Morgan (as a forever foster) were amazing experiences I will always be grateful for, and any way we can help them continue to help senior dogs and connect our community should be encouraged. If you are able (or already have) donated money, let me know, and I will put your name/message on my race day shirt. I donated $8 to represent each mile in the race, but you are welcome to give as much or little as makes sense for you. I will be printing on Thursday or Friday this week, so there is still time to donate! Thank you in advance and to those who have already donated! #5kaday #running #movement
Day 212 ended a month of good movement and started a week of prep for the #balboapark8miler After a day of family, food, and a little (read: a decent amount) of vino, I was excited to get out for a night run. The temperature had dropped considerably but it was still warm when I started out, but having a breeze helped keep the run in a comfortable space. The route started with a long downhill (the first 1.75 miles or so) before levelling out for a short time and having mostly uphill for the last 3 miles. It was a good tuneup for the incline/decline of the race on Saturday, and while the pace was slower, it felt good to get out there and keep the prep going. Tomorrow is a travel day, but I am looking forward to finding a way to get some movement and prep in! 844.1 down, 287.4 miles to go! #5kaday #5k #running #nightrun #runhenderson

Day 211 was the biggest of the month in terms of miles and ended with me at my goal of 150 miles for the month of July! Today was a great day in a lot of ways, and I am grateful for all the movement I was able to get in. In the afternoon, I was at the airport and my flight was delayed. Inspired by anxiety and antsyness, I went for a walk. I found out that if you pass all the gates at SAN, you will have walked about a 1.00 mile loop. My flight was still delayed, so I decided to try to get a 5k airport walk in, which was a success. After the walk, my flight was still on and I made it to my destination (perhaps I will share some pics during tomorrow's movement to give a hint where I ended up)! I got to spend some time with loved ones, and after everyone went to their hotel rooms, I hopped on the treadmill in the fitness center and went for a run. I planned to do a #treadmill10k with escalating pace from 7.0 to 8.0, but once I got to the 10k mark, I decided to finish out the hour (and eventually, the cool down too) to hit a total of 7.8 miles on the treadmill. This, plus the 3.1 miles from earlier, put me right on 150.0 miles for the month with a day to go! I am grateful for all the running and movement I was able to get in today and this month, especially as I get ready for the #balboapark8miler As a reminder, it is not too late to donate to @frostedfaces and get your name/message on my race day shirt! I donated $8 ($1 for each mile) but you can give whatever makes sense for you! Thank you to those who already have donated and to those who will in the coming days! 839.1 down, 292.4 miles to go! #5kaday #5k #10k #treadmillrun #running #walking #runSAN

Day 210 was a big one but one without trackable movement. After a big week of volume getting ready for the #balboapark8miler today ended up being a little bit of a rest day. We still had a big day, which included seeing some friends in the afternoon and evening, and I am grateful for all the great experiences we have had as we get ready to start the next chapter! Before then (hopefully!) there is a race to be had, and if you are able to, I would be grateful for any donations!

Day 209 had some good movement and, in the end, lots of sweat! In the morning, we started off with a short walk at the Ramona Grasslands Preserve before heading home and getting a little pool time at grandma's this afternoon. An A+ day for Bourbon, certainly. In the evening, I headed out for a later run (although it was still in the low 70s when I got out there), and headed out to check in on the @ramonachamberca Ramona Country Fair. It looked like a ton of fun (no, that is not an alien vessel in the first picture - more like foggy camera lens), and is something to check out in the future for sure! After detouring to see the fair, I got back on my typical loop and got back to my goals for the run. On the volume side, I wanted to eclipse 8 miles (I have one more long day planned prior to the race next week!), so getting to almost a 15k was great. On the pace side, my goal was to run the second half faster than the first half. As mentioned previously, #balboapark8miler has a significant hill at around the 5.5 mile mark, so finishing stronger was something I wanted to do. While the overall pace was maybe a little slower than I'd hope for on race day, I was pumped to have miles 5-9 all be faster than miles 1-4. It was great sitting in the 7:40/mile range and feeling comfortable, and I hope to build on that in my final big tuneup run. Overall, a great day and I am excited for the next couple days - lots of community and time with loved ones coming up, and lots of good movement, too! 828.2 down, 303.3 miles to go! #5kaday #5k #10k #8miler #running #nightrun #runramona #hikingwithdogs
Day 208 was another hot one, which led to a night run! I headed out in the morning for a run after checking on the fish, but I decided it had already gotten a bit too hot for an extended run. Instead, I set my sights on taking care of some tasks at school and around the house. I was able to work a bit more on the roof for the shed, so I was pumped on that! Later on, I headed over for volleyball and got to play both matches, which was fun! After volleyball, I went for a run, planning to get out on the hills a bit out on Twin Peaks Rd. I was happy about my pace, especially after 3 hours of volleyball, and was able to get a hill that seemed similar enough to Zig Zag Hill during the #balboapark8miler! On top of that, I was also excited to keep the pace after the hill, which will be a significant part of the race day run. Overall, I am excited about the movement, and I am excited for what tomorrow and the weekend has to offer! 818.9 down, 312.6 miles to go! #5kaday #5k #10k #running #nightrun #roadrun #runpoway
Day 207 was another hot one and while I didn't run as much as originally planned, I am still happy with the movement! After checking on the fish, I headed out for what I thought was an early enough run - I even did the extra loop by the cows in order to make sure it would be over 8 miles in total. However, it was already real hot, so after getting to the 5k mark, I did a check in with myself and decided that I would put in a little less and regroup for the rest of the week! I think it was the smart choice although I definitely had to check who/pride at the door. I am stoked on the pace I kept through 5k, although with the heat, I am unsure how long I would have kept it up. I would ideally be running in the 7:15-7:30 range for the #balboapark8miler and I am hopeful with some smart prep, that is still a possibility! If you have already donated to @frostedfaces, thank you so much! I would be happy to honor you or have a message of your choosing on the back of my race day shirt - just let me know you donated! If you haven't, no worries - there is still time to support an incredible resource in our community! Go to their page or website and donate! 811.4 down, 320.1 miles to go! #5kaday #5k #running #roadrun #runramona
Day 206 was a hot one but I am glad I got it done early! I went for an earlier run because of how hot it was supposed to get (spoiler: it got hot), so I checked on the fish and went on my way! I decided I wanted to push the pace, aiming for a 5k at or around the 7:00 min/mile pace. I was able to maintain that most of the way, but needing a pit stop certainly crushed the pace. In the end, the 5k pace was 7:22 min/mile, with a little bit of walking after the 5k. My goal for this next run will be to complete a 10k at about 7:15-7:30 min pace, as the hill on the #balboapark8miler starts right around mile 6 - I'd love to plan to get to it quickly and then recover pace after Zig Zag Hill! 806.7 down, 324.8 miles to go! #5kaday #5k #running #roadrun #runramona
Day 205 saw another milestone passed - 800 miles are in the books! July has been busy, with this being the second 100's milestone passed this month - we got to 700 on July 4th. Tonight, I wanted to focus on some hilly terrain, and returned to a small loop that admittedly has been very boring in the past. However, with a renewed focus and intention for the run - specifically, wanting to push out of the summits and keep pace - I found it to be a little less boring. I did a bunch of loops while listening to @swingshiftrnb and perhaps it was the frustration of the possibility that the Dodgers will be complacent at the trade deadline that pushed me, but I was happy to record mostly 8:15-8:30 miles throughout the run. As I hit 800 miles, I am excited to keep moving forward, especially with the #balboapark8miler on the horizon! I am incredibly grateful to those who have donated to help @frostedfaces already! If you haven't, it's never too late to give to an incredible cause in our community. If you do (or have) and let me know, I'll be happy to put your name/a message on the back of my race day shirt! 803.1 down, 328.4 miles to go! #5kaday #5k #10k #running #nightrun #roadrun #runramona #800

Day 203 came with a change of plans but I am grateful I was able to get a good run in! I knew I'd be coming down to Banker's (Bankers'?) Hill for a shift at Pure, but on my way down, I was told I could clock in a little later if it worked out for me. Suddenly, my plan to get a late run in changed and I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I originally planned to run some laps in the western part of Balboa Park (where a lot of the 8 Miler occurs), but because of the change, I was able to run the whole course! I don't have a ton of experience racing, but I know what a difference it makes when you are able to run or travel the course ahead of a race, so I was pumped. I parked near work and jogged out to the starting line, which was almost exactly 1.0 miles, which allowed me to track my pace along the race route accurately, which I think will be a big help in two weeks. I was stoked to run just under 8:00 min pace on the course for the first 5 miles, but this particular course has a pretty definite dividing point right around 5.5 miles. At 5 miles, you dip into a valley through Balboa Park, and run on a dirt/sand trail along the 163. Then, you hit "zig zag hill", which is a brutal stretch of uphill - with an incredible view of the bridge and tower in Balboa Park - before running along the western part of Balboa Park and crossing the bridge in the final 2+ miles. I was quickly reminded about how, more than the hill itself, the 2+ miles after can be a chore, and I will look for ways to get some more hill work in over the next two weeks to get my confidence up heading into the race. I also decided to hold off on running the entire course, leaving the last 0.5 miles or so for race day so I can enjoy it then! Overall, I am happy with this run and am looking forward to the race even more! If you have already donated to @frostedfaces, THANK YOU - they do incredible work and I am grateful they are a part of the Ramona community. If you have already donated (or do so soon), don't forget to reach out so I can put your name and or a message on my race day shirt! 796 down, 335.5 miles to go! #5kaday #5k #10k #8miler #15k #balboapark8miler #running #runbalboapark

Day 202 is in the books and it ended up being a late (but solid) run! I was pretty beat after yesterday, and definitely felt it getting out of bed this morning. It was a little bit of a bummer only because it felt decent enough outside that I probably could have fit in a run without much incident, but I opted to wait til night time to try to run. After watching @uswnt get the W, watching some of the @sandiegowavefc match, and making some dinner, I headed out for a late run. Conditions were nice for the run from the onset, and I was.pushkng to run a better pace than my two 4 mile runs yesterday. I decided to add a small loop in the northwest corner of the Ramona lap to get above the 8 mile mark without having to do much backtracking. I was pleased most miles were under 8:00 min and all were under the 8:15ish min miles I ran yesterday. Overall, a good day and some good prep for the #balboapark8miler coming up! If you are able and willing, please don't forget to donate to @frostedfaces - if you DM or send along a confirmation of your donation, I will put your name (or a message of your choosing) on the back of the shirt I'll wear for the race! I appreciate the first set of people who have donated, but there is still plenty of room on the back of the shirt - It is a great cause, and I hope you'll consider donating! 786.4 down, 345.1 miles to go! #5kaday #5k #10k #8miler #running #nightrun #roadrun #runramona

Don't remember if it is San Diego Zoo or Balboa Park. No matter which, it is beautiful and worth going to; I highly recommend you go and pay a visit! You can skip the below paragraph because it is basically some self-reflections on my past , haha: Why did I give up painting in the third quarter? OK, I know because I thought painting and urban sketching affected my academic performance. Why did I want to do well in academics? Because I believed that I would find a job with good grades at that time. Looking back at it now, I thought this logic didn't make sense; I was kicked out of the US job market because of visa issues, and now art is the only companionship that doesn't ask for anything back. I now feel like on a shabby wooden boat in the middle of the ocean with the thunderstorm above my head, and here you go, guess who is in that boat with me? Art (or whatever you say, painting, drawing..) Oh, the left upper corner is a bird's view of my head with some pretzel hair clips. Just googled it, and there are actual pretzel hair clips. But mine are American pretzel hair clips. I think I did this because my school often gave away free small packages of chips and pretzels during events. I guess the pretzels bag saved me from hunger, so it became my muse. Thank you, American pretzel mix :-)! I feel I am now at a similar stage - international homeless-hood (digital nomad life), but with more dignity since I have some income stream. #sandiegozoo #sandiegozooglobal #sandiegozoosafari #urbansketch #urbansketcher #urbansketches #urbansketching #urbansketchers #urbansketching #urbansketchers #urbansketchbook #sandiegoart #sandiegoarts #sandiegoartist #sandiegoartists #sandiegoartscene #sandiegoartgallery #balboapark #balboaparksd #balboapark8miler #balboaparksummer #balboaparksandiego #balboaparkafterdark #balboaparkbotanicalgarden #pretzels #pretzelsbaby #pretzelsticks #pretzelslovers #sketchbook #sketchup
