Nala's Quest: January 2009
http://nalasquest.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
My personal thoughts about my obsession with running and its influences in my life. Saturday, January 31, 2009. When Lisa and I got married 11 years ago, one of our first major purchses together was a Siberian Husky puppy. Sunday, January 25, 2009. Week 1 - Check! Well, I made it through my first week of training. Granted it is going to be the easiest week, by far (not counting the taper weeks), but still, I survived without injury, which is my goal as I go through this Pfitz cycle. My next run was on Th...

Nala's Quest: May 2009
http://nalasquest.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
My personal thoughts about my obsession with running and its influences in my life. Sunday, May 31, 2009. Absolutely perfect day for running - cloudy with a little drizzle, temps in the 60s. Had a number of awesome supporters including Lisa, who made it to 3 different stops on the race, my brother and friends, a student, a co-worker, and lots of friends. Thanks for your support - it certainly made a difference. Ran my heart out today including running a negative split. Sunday, May 24, 2009. I've never wo...

Nala's Quest: December 2008
http://nalasquest.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
My personal thoughts about my obsession with running and its influences in my life. Wednesday, December 31, 2008. I've been running now for about a year and can admit that I am addicted. For many years, my first thought in the morning used to be about how the first sip of freshly made coffee would taste in my mouth, but it's now about when I am going to be able to run today. Happy New Year to all! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Rock and Roll Marathon - San Diego 5/31.

Nala's Quest: NO MORE SPICY PASTA!
http://nalasquest.blogspot.com/2009/05/no-more-spicy-pasta.html
My personal thoughts about my obsession with running and its influences in my life. Monday, May 4, 2009. NO MORE SPICY PASTA! I spent the last four days in one of my favorite cities, Seattle. We were up there for a family wedding, and I was able to take a few days off so we could sightsee with Lisa's family. The trip overall was fabulous, with great eats and breathtaking sights. To start off, my brother-in-law got us a steal at the Marriott Residence Inn on Lake Union via Priceline. May 5, 2009 at 9:09 PM.

Nala's Quest: 3:51 - Foreshadowing?
http://nalasquest.blogspot.com/2009/05/351-foreshadowing.html
My personal thoughts about my obsession with running and its influences in my life. Monday, May 11, 2009. We completed the first loop in a little less than an hour, which was a bit slower than I was hoping for. When we returned to the parking area, he stopped to grab another Gatorade, and we were off again. The second loop was about the same pace, but he was now definitely feeling it in his legs. Oh well, either way, I'm done with it. Now it's TAPER TIME! May 13, 2009 at 6:53 PM. May 19, 2009 at 6:13 PM.

Nala's Quest: April 2009
http://nalasquest.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
My personal thoughts about my obsession with running and its influences in my life. Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Back on the Bandwagon. It's been awhile since my last post for a variety of reasons. Here's how life has been hitting me lately:. Got sick for a weekend - NOT the swine flu. Hosted cousin's family with a newborn for a week (6 kids in all, their 3 plus our 3). Trying not to stress out about my job for next year(teacher's union decided to take a pay cut, which may in the end save my job). Okay, so...

Nala's Quest: Marathon Goals
http://nalasquest.blogspot.com/2009/05/marathon-goals.html
My personal thoughts about my obsession with running and its influences in my life. Sunday, May 24, 2009. It's hard to believe that the San Diego RnR Marathon is less than a week away. I've been eyeing this day for a full year now; a chance for redemption and to truly "run" the race and not just complete it. After. Take the summer off to recover and heal with lots of swimming and a few runs here and there. Use the fall to build up a good mileage base of 30-40 miles/week. This translates to an 8:45/pace&#...

My personal thoughts about my obsession with running and its influences in my life. Monday, June 1, 2009. Race Report: San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon 2009. Long Race Report ahead! For a shorter version, see previous post. The San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon for the 1st time. Last year, I survived it and ran about 18 miles of it, and had to walk the remaining 8 miles.

Nala's Quest: March 2009
http://nalasquest.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
My personal thoughts about my obsession with running and its influences in my life. Sunday, March 29, 2009. Had mentioned in his post about mid-foot strike running. I remember reading in the book, Chi Running,. Book has some interesting concepts that the author truly believes will lead to injury-free running. Maybe if I had focused on that a little more, a few weeks ago, I wouldn't have gotten injured in the first place . . . The next few miles, I fell into a good rhythm and ran them at 8:45/mile pace.
