One of my favorite runs! Five miles trail run, then breakfast at the Flower Farm after! I love running with my friends.

Maui 2020 <3

Always love our time on Maui! Enjoyed visiting with our friends, The Jenks, (we coordinate our timeshare time with them so we are on the island at the same time) as well as a wonderful surprise, discovering my friend Gaby was on the island as well! It was her first time there and I was able to introduce her to the Kapalua Coastal Trail hike. Got to see our snowbird Maui friends, Jeff and Mary Cay, for brunch as well.

My sole sister, Aarti, and I decided to hear up to Chico for a quarter marathon race. I’m so glad we did it. Such a fun race! We ran into a couple other MRTT friends as well.

10 mile, quarter marathon, and 5k options. Our quarter marathon (6.55 miles) was about 80% trail/20% road. The trail was wide and the route was an out and back so we could cheer/be cheered by the runners ahead/behind us. Not too many undulations so it was easy to run even if you don’t typically run trails. I ran in my road shoes and had no issues. The road part was wide country road and hardly any cars. When there were cars, they drove very slow and respected the runners. (Hugging them all in my heart right now). The race begins and ends in Bidwell Park and there was plenty of parking. Small race, but very well organized and supported with appropriate signs/support volunteer offering directions/aid stations. Long sleeved technical tshirt/ and a medal. Proceeds go to a local domestic violence shelter.

49er’s vs. Packers!

We had hoped these would be tickets for 49er’s vs. Seahawks, but, alas, it was not to be. We still decided to go and we had a fantastic time! Boys2Men sand the National Anthem. That was a nice surprise.

We had great seats and created special family memories.

Night Trail Run

Resolution Run 2020!

I took pretty much a full year off from running, aside from a few random, short runs. Felt the urge to get back to it and decided to run the Resolution Run 5K on New Year’s Day. It’s a hard trail race that goes down into a canyon, then back up. I love it and hate it. It’s hard, but the sense of accomplishment once complete is encouraging.

Of course, running with friends is the best!

HE’S 17!!

The tradition lives with the ‘eat whatever you want’ breakfast!

He won a T-shirt!

One of my run buddy friends accomplished the incredible goal of not just running one marathon, but a total of 100!! California International Marathon 2019 marked her 100th!

A group of us hosted an after party for her. We had a terrific night celebrating Janice!

We have a local Irish pub called the ‘Boxing Donkey‘. They hosted a fun afternoon, offering a discount for anyone who brought an ornament to help decorate their Christmas tree. A few of my friends and I gathered to spend the afternoon, adding our ornaments to the tree, eating food pub food, and enjoying the conversation (or as they say in Ireland, ‘the craic’.)
