A runner with an appetite for adventure!

Instead of a run… we went Shopping! October 8, 2009

What a great night we had tonight! We both got home at the same time, ate a quick dinner, and headed over to the Glendale Galleria tonight. It is so great over there. They had some Big Band music playing, and people were just out enjoying the fall weather in Los Angeles. We got Irving a few fun things at “The Art of Shaving” and window shopped for a while.

I love the fountains at the Galleria. It’s like a mini Bellagio, right in our backyard!

But I supposed I’m really overdue for a run… hopefully I can squeeze one in tomorrow.

Hoping to bang out a few Entourage episodes tonight. We’re almost done Season 3, and we’re hooked!

 

Spirit of the Marathon!

Irving and I rented “Spirit of the Marathon” this week, and I was psyched when he said he’d watch it with me. 🙂 Even if you’re not a distance runner, you definitely have to respect the crazy people who run these races for fun (i.e. me!).

spiritofmarathonI love the tagline, it says: When you cross the finish line, it will change your life forever. It’s so true. I cry nearly every time I finish a long race. It’s just so emotional! It’s a combination of pride, pain and excitement. 🙂 That runner’s high is just so addicting.

I loved the movie, it was a documentary following 5 people as they train and complete the Chicago Marathon. They had some first-timers (who like me, finished in 6 hours) and some elites (Deena Kastor and a champion from Kenya). It was inspiring to see both the elites and the average runners struggling towards one goal: to finish!

I have an easy 5-miler on Sunday, and then the Nike Half Marathon next week!!! I can’t believe it’s already been a year! I’m so excited. I’m not expecting to PR, but it sure would be nice. 🙂 We’ll see!

Haha, I just got this email from Emerson:

EmersonVery cute. I wish that I was at Emerson now… so much has changed since I graduated. They have all kinds of new dorms and buildings now! I miss college, I just can’t believe how fast the time goes. I’ve now been out of college longer than I was in college. How does that happen?

Welcome to the new Kelocity.Com!

I am in the process of converting my old website to this new and improved wordpress site, so bear with me as I finish switching everything over!
(Eventually, all my old sites will be back dated to populate my blog, so if you’re looking for my old pictures, race recaps and travelogues, use the search on the right hand side to find them. I’m adding them one by one.

I am so so excited to finally have a blog-formatted website to share my life with the world wide web! Pardon the dust while we get settled in!

But I’m starting this blog out with a bang!
I’ve got big news!!!

I HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN ACCEPTED INTO THE 2010 BOSTON MARATHON!!!!
I will be running and fundraising with the Dana-Farber team!

This really is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I am so excited, scared and proud!

Stay tuned for more details!!!
And thanks for reading!!

 

10-Miles…Last long run before Nike!! October 4, 2009

I did 10 miles at Balboa Park… my last long run before the Nike Half Marathon in 2 weeks. It was pretty uneventful, and I felt great. I did the first 5 on my own, and the second 5 with the LA Racers. I didn’t eat breakfast before the run (which is usually a no-no) but I felt surprisingly strong by the end. Who knew?
