Cruisin, Boxin, Runnin

So I just got a kick in the butt from my friend (and talented tri-athlete) Simply A Day In My Life to update my blog. I'd forgotten about it. Oops.

Well, a lot has happened since the last time I've written. Running, yoga, and I even learned to box last weekend. Boxing is an amazing sport I never appreciated before. From my perspective boxing is a great complement to running, just as yoga is - except from the opposite end of the spectrum. I look forward to learning more than jabs and cross punches!

I went on a cruise a few weeks ago...has anyone ever ran the track on a cruise ship? It is actually a pretty neat experience. We were on The Liberty of the Seas, which is one of the newer ships. There is a really great track on the top deck...I will never forget the experience of running on a ship, looking out onto the high seas...ahhh.

To give a quick shout-out, a couple I met from a running group that meets at Griffith Park owns a running apparel company that some of you may recognize. RaceReady's unique products are running bottoms that have these handy dandy pockets on the butt to hold things you may need during a longer run. In fact, during the Long Beach Marathon last year I had in there: cell phone, honey sticks, jelly belly sport beans, and gu. Hahaha. Anyway, I am the "model" for the singlets and v neck shirts, just click "view on model"...pretty funny!

Ok...here's my update all in one breath. I haven't been running any races lately, but am thinking this may be the one: Mission Gorge Trail Run Anybody done this one before? Planning to do it again?
