It was the perfect setting for our 3rd Bull Session this morning. Our TBR Dream Marathoners ran long for 1 hour and 45 mins. in the cool and nippy holiday air at NUVALI. I won’t say much in this post since these photos will effectively show you how much fun we had this morning. Congratulations [...]
- Pre-Race: Sacramento and California Int’l Marathon Expo
I arrived in Sacramento two days before the race giving me enough time to get acquainted with the city. It was my first time here. – Hello Sacramento! – The entire city of Sacramento—an easy 2-hour drive from San Francisco—is quaint, relaxed, and filled with character.

I received this email from Jim Lafferty, my co-founder for TBR Dream Marathon and one of my mentors in running and in life. As I’ve mentioned in the past, Jim is a huge believer in Youth Juice (no, he doesn’t own it nor is he a distributor of it and neither am I) and he shares [...]

- Empire State of Mind and Legs
Since I arrived from New York, I’ve been stuck in brain (and leg) freeze mode. More than a couple of times, I’ve had to peel myself out of bed in the morning. That’s despite the hour long nap I’ve been having lately, which has gone mandatory to keep me from dozing off by 7 PM! [...]

I would’ve wanted to watch this myself: REX RELOADED on Wednesday, November 16, 2011, at NBC Tent in Bonifacio Global City because I’m a big believer in [...]
