Making my list
My RunTalkRadio co-host, Caleb, has recently put out the challenge to runners everywhere to make a list that is tailored to our individual needs. Forget the generalized lists that are published for the masses, instead, he says, make one for yourself and use it to help you train for the 2010 season. Since Caleb is no only my co-host but also my coach, I feel like he put this out... Read More
Where Kathy Runs | The Dish at Stanford
Decided to run on one of my long forgotten trails yesterday, The Dish at Stanford. It was so great to be back in my old stomping grounds. The weather was a perfect 60 degrees, and the hills were just calling my name the entire time! Read More
Kathyruns… and then she skis
Patagonia.com Leave it to Patagonia to keep us all inspired and excited about ski season. After a pretty rocky running season, I must say that I’m looking forward to this year’s mountain time with primed legs and feet that are itching to snuggle into my telemark boots.

I’ve been practicing some pretty outrageous hydration teqniques (I think the... Read More

The mystery of the naked runner
I believe it all started when runners decided to take off their shoes and strut their bare feet around town starting the barefoot running revolution that is sweeping across the nation, provoking imaginative products, and if you’re part of the club, you can sport a barefoot runner’s t-shirt! One runner in North Carolina decided to take the barefoot trend one step further... Read More
A shout out from Kara Goucher
Via my friend, Daniel N. over at DailyMile. Kara spoke at Nike Town in New York for Fashion’s night out, and then went for a quick three mile run around the city. Daniel was lucky enough to get a chance to run with her, and awesome enough to get her to record a shout out for me! Thanks, Daniel! How’s that for motivation? Read More
Race report: Dirt Inspires Women Trail 1/2 Marathon
A few months ago I signed up for a race called the “Dirt Inspires Women Trail 1/2 Marathon.” This year marked the kickoff for the race, and it was a massive success. Three hundred women gathered in Nisene Mark’s State Park in Aptos, CA to run 13.1 miles through a dense redwood forest. The trail follows a fire road mixed in with a fairly technical single track trail;... Read More
