I can fly! (aka. kim can run… )

On January 31, 2012 · 21 Comments · In sporty

Dear friends,

I did it!

I finished an actual half marathon on early Sunday morning. All on my own. And then I walked around Disneyland for another 7 hours that day. Oh yeah.

The day began with a wake-up call at 3:30am … but that really translated into me waking up and [...]

faith, trust and dust

On January 27, 2012 · 19 Comments · In sporty

 

Excuse me while I repeat a mantra of, “stay calm Kim” over the next 48 hours, because I’m really freaking out about this whole race thing. Didn’t sleep more than 5 hours each night this week… haven’t been eating well…. and mentally I’m just eating myself up over this thing I’ve never [...]

You might still think it’s summer, but the picture below is evidence that fall is officially here…

This is the den upstairs in our house. And yes… those are three TVs all tuned to NFL football thanks to the glorious invention that is NFL Sunday Ticket. (well… it’s glorious when [...]

watching people run

On August 2, 2011 · 7 Comments · In sporty

On Sunday, Miss L and I headed into San Francisco to cheer on my bff, Audrey, as she raced in the San Francisco Marathon. Auds isn’t new to running at all. In fact, when we were roommates in college, I could easily tell if she had run less than 5 miles in the morning [...]

the season starts with hard knocks

On August 12, 2010 · 5 Comments · In sporty

. The 2010 NFL football season may have officially started last Sunday with that abysmal pre-season game, but things didn’t really feel “real” until Hard Knocks premiered last night. I gave Mr. M an early b-day present and subscribed to HBO for a few months just so we could watch it. We [...]

and then there were none…

.
The World Cup ended for lots of people when the US lost to Ghana. For me… my enthusiasm prevailed to see which, if any, of the “H&M underwear crew of 2006″ would make it to the end. As of this morning, we’re all out of the running (Brazil, England, Italy).

i drink golfers all summer

On June 29, 2010 · 2 Comments · In sporty, yummy

.
My favorite summer drink? That’s an easy question to answer…  an Arnold Palmer. Half Lemonade/Half Iced Tea and pure refreshment. I love that fast food establishments all humor my craving as well… but loathe it when they try to make it with sweet tea instead of the plain stuff.

But [...]

On March 22, 2010 · 1 Comment · In sporty

I received a wonderful 55-250mm telephoto lens for Christmas from Mr. M for my DSLR, but sadly hadn’t had the chance to get out and use it anywhere since the holidays. So when little L and I went for our first outing to the park on Sunday to watch Mr. M play Ultimate, I [...]

voting on behalf of the ultimate fan

On October 14, 2009 · 4 Comments · In sporty

My cousin Brad is Rickey Henderson’s biggest fan. No seriously, he is. Need proof… just check out his blog that is devoted to the “Man of Steal.”

I used to think it was just a fluke when we were kids and his collection of cards grew larger and larger, but the fact that [...]

old tennis is new again

On July 13, 2009 · 2 Comments · In sporty

On Friday, Mr. M and I headed up the road to watch our first World Team Tennis match at the mall… yes… the mall. Each summer, they construct a huge tennis court on the edge of the parking lot for the month of July for the events and concessions (where they sell those uber [...]
