Feeling marginally better, I upped the activity yesterday pruning some fruit trees in our yard and then going to the gym and lifting a little weights focusing on the back muscles and a super easy jog on the treadmill for 30 minutes. The pruning is really taxing because the trees are big and the project…

Under the weather
The general weak and unmotivated feeling I have had the past couple days has been for good reason; I was coming down with a cold. I got a super sore throat on Sunday to complement a headache and now my sinuses are super clogged. This sucks…. big time 😦 Since I am in the antigen…
Full swing break mode
Winter break in Sammamish has been very chill, perhaps excessively. I haven’t been doing much the past few days aside from a little shopping and a lot of rest, tv, and movies. I did go to a friend’s wedding reception on Friday night which was very fun. It feels good to be a little lazy…
Sammamish, baby!
I’m back home in lovely Sammamish, Washington! My slam dunk prediction of cold and wet came to fruition. It is indeed COLD and WET! I went on a run this morning along the Snoqualmie Valley Trail between Carnation and Snoqualmie it was (you guessed it) COLD and WET 🙂 I got the usual mud all…
North Face Endurance Challenge Half Marathon
Yesterday I ran the half marathon race at the North Face Endurance Challenge in the Marin Headlands. I won the race in 1:39.14 and I felt pretty good. The course entailed three monster hills with elevation gain of around 2,700 feet. The hills definitely worked my leg muscles, especially my quads and butt, which remain…
Week recap
Three of my four classes this semester are now complete! I can’t believe how fast this semester flew by. All that I have remaining is a final in tax law on December 11th. I’m also doing research assistant work for the Venture Capital Course offered next semester so I will still be busy the next…
Thanksgiving Weekend
The annual thanksgiving dinner at my brother-in-law’s parents house was awesome as usual. I was definitely stuffed with some excellent food! It was nice to see everybody as well. The mini-vacation has been very chill around here with exercise and some reading/writing for class. I ran yesterday and felt pretty good except for section in…
Felt crappy, but…
Yesterday I hit Los Alto Hills for the Elena Loop. I felt incredibly crappy to start with basically everything feeling out of sync. However, the weather was incredible with perfect temps and clear skies so I couldn’t resist. Somehow I got into a great rhythm and a fast pace naturally unfolded. The run ended up…
Doesn’t feel like November…
The weather here is ridiculously nice for late November with temps in the mid 60s and sunshine every single day! Furthermore, the weather forecast for the next 10+ days holds the strong west coast ridge of high pressure in place (a “blocking pattern”). This translates into more tranquil weather with sunny days and crisp nights/mornings….
Finally a run
With my foot finally feeling better, I went out on a run today around campus and vicinity. The run was 50 minutes long – between 7.5 to 8 miles. I felt pretty awkward early on having not run for two weeks, but I got more comfortable as the run progressed. I am still going to…
