Running is a Journey

That’s just about it – isn’t it? 2011 is nearly done. What a year it was, but aren’t they all?

Very early in 2011, we moved to the San Diego area (Carlsbad to be exact) for a new job. I was pretty excited to be getting out of the gloomy Pacific Northwest and it seemed like a cool company to work for. Turns out – it’s a pretty awesome job. It’s one of the first jobs I’ve truly loved in quite some time. I call that a win!

Shortly after moving here we tried to get involved with people as quickly as we could. Making new friends is a great way to get adjusted to a new area and it worked out pretty well! We also got involved rather quickly with the local softball scene. We were fortunate enough to get connected with a pretty awesome team our first year in the new league down in San Diego. So – some highlights of 2011:

Moved to San Diego (January) & started a new job
Worked on My Run documentary as Marketing/PR (all year)
Worked as a producer on Eyes of Thailand (ongoing)
Postponed Twin Peaks from February to October (new date going forward) due to extensive course damage
Had some running issues (with my toe) that kept me out of too much running for the first half of the year
Shot a documentary film for the Leona Divide Trail Race
Started coaching a women’s softball team in Carlsbad (to be continued in 2012 along with a team in the San Diego league!)
Put on an awesome Harding Hustle and Twin Peaks race
Had a long run of just over 8 miles (longest run in about 18 months)
