2016 Ohana 5k and Toy Drive

The 2016 Ohana 5k and Toy Drive was great! This race was organized by Aztlan Athletics and the toys collected were donated to the Joan Kroc Center in San Diego! I ran this race about 3 years ago with my student, Angel and Sirius Fitness member, Tracy G. I originally went with no intention to run, just to simply pass out Hot Chocolate 15k flyers, but how can I resist an opportunity to warmup the crowd!

😜 ...and then why not run too?! Lol! I had a cute little 9 year old help me out on stage for a song and she ended up winning her age group! Was it the Sirius Fitness Warmup??? Lol...Maybe a little, but she was FAST! I look forward to my Sirius Fitness team running this in 2017!

7 Sirius Fitness Tips for Running the Costume Party Run Half Marathon (This Sunday)

7 Sirius Fitness Tips for Running the Costume Party Run Half Marathon (This Sunday)

1- Eat the Big meal at lunch rather than dinner...I learned this the hard way when I ate Heavy the night (7pm) before a race and "FELT IT" the next morning...not fun! You don't have to Carb Load, just eat a balanced "clean" meal...PIG OUT AFTER THE RACE! lol!

2- Get there early...I try to get there at least an hour before the start of the race. It's not cool to get there in rush mode just to have to get running within 10 minutes with no warming up, mental preparation or time for that "last minute" potty break.

3- Hydrate...Hydrate...Hydrate! Don't wait for the day of the race to start....drink more than your average a couple days prior to the race and (if you want) carry water in a hydration belt and if you don't like those (which I don't) make sure you drink water a EVERY water stop.

4- Pre-Race Fueling... Personally I drink a Verve (Healthy Energy Drink) prior to the race and/ or a 1/4 of a banana or some Gatorade "like" drink.

5- "In-race" fueling... Try an Island Boost "shot"...less sticky and chalky than "goo" and it is assists with a quick burst of energy from a "tasty" mixture of glucose, coconut water and Healthy "stuff"! I take mine at mile 7, 9 and 11 (if needed)

6- "Keep your eye on the prize" and...Remember your "WHY"...Why are you doing this? Think of the accomplishment...Goal...all the training...the cause...THE BLING! lol!

7- Afterwards we EAT for our ACCOMPLISHMENTS! (at 1pm~ Wear your Medal) Sushi Deli 1 ~ 228 W. Washington St., San Diego CA 92103

National Running Day: "Sirius Fitness Running Happy Hour!"

Wednesday, June 5, 2013
5:30pm until 7:00pm Rohr Park
4548 Sweetwater Rd Bonita, CA 91902

We "Sirius Runners" will commit to at least a mile...if we choose we can go further, but this simple is a relaxing run/jog/power walk to commemorate National Running day! All Levels are welcome! Bring a FRIEND!

What is National Running Day?? National Running Day, held annually on the first Wednesday in June, is a day when runners everywhere declare their passion for running. Wherever we are and whomever we’re with, we run—fast or slow, alone or with others, all over town or just around the block. It is a coast-to-coast celebration of a sport and activity that’s simple, inexpensive, and fun. It’s the perfect way for longtime runners to reaffirm their love of running and for beginners to kick off a lifetime and life-changing commitment.

#13in2013: (13 Half Marathons in 2013)

SO...2012 was a good year when it came to running Half Marathons! I completed 10 and I'm looking for more in 2013! How many? Thirteen to be exact! 13 in 2013 is my mantra for this "run" year! Now...I do enjoy running these Half Marathons for my own personal gratification and health, but I also have two other important reasons why I run. Number one...THE CAUSES. Running for prostate cancer, crohn's disease, breast cancer, autism, etc is one of the main reasons I run. Number two...INSPIRING OTHERS. I know for a fact that consistently running and staying active myself allowed others to see that, not only do I practice what I preach, but if I can do it, THEY can do it too! I also want to SHOUT OUT and acknowledge all those organizations who supported me and sponsored some of my runs: Stepping Higher, Inc., Phi Beta Sigmas, Nubia Leadership Academy, Friends of Nubia and Zero: The End of Prostate Cancer!

PS: always looking for donors and/or Sponsors to assist me on my Quest! I'll Shout you out to The Facebook/Twitter/Pinterest/Foursquare and Social Media World (10000+ Folks!)

Now here are some suggested Half Marathons and some additional runs (for those who want to join me on my quest of 13 runs!) JANUARY-JUNE 2013

#RunNasaraRun: Let's run the...2012 San Diego Rock n Roll Half Marathon!

Ok...ok...ok... Firstly I want to thank First Lady Benson and Stepping Higher, Inc. for sponsoring my run and constantly supporting me in my quest for wellness in our communities! Now...let's talk about this run. Well...the day before (June 2nd) I organized, with the sponsorship and assistance of ING Kids Rock (also...a special shoutout goes to John Nunn, a 2012 Olympic hopeful in the 50K race walk, for his assistance.) We took students from Nubia Leadership Academy out to get fit and experience the fun and excitement of an organized, (semi) competitive run (kids were involved, so they are no losers, only winners!) This was fun and a little stressful but mostly fun!

After the kids run, we went to the annual Expo in the downtown Convention Center and it was GREAT as usual! Vendors, vendors and more vendors and I had to also pick up my racing bib. I was also "given" a $30-40 parking pass "out of the blue" and that was a blessing because it allowed me to park at the "finish line"(Sea World) before the race began.

Now, the morning was a little challenging because I was looking for my shorts at 4 am and couldn't find them. I found some cool red shorts, but they didn't match so I went with my black shorts which happened to be missing the drawstring. I didn't think it was a problem because I had safety pins to hold them up...BOY...THAT CAME BACK TO HAUNT ME!!

We started the race in Hillcrest along with the other 40,000 runners and proceed to trek 13.1 miles to Sea World...yay! ;-/ I had recently sprained my calf muscle that week in TKB, but I couldn't back out because I had to "do what I gotta do"...right? Well, I was cool for the first 4 miles, then Mr. Calf started acting up. Now, I'm foolish sometimes and I deal with the pain, but believe it or not, that wasn't the worst of it...the worst came when I had to constantly pull my shorts up FOR THE WHOLE RACE! Stupid, stupid, stupid!! I should have just wore the non-matching red shorts and ran a comfortable race, but noooooooooo...I have to match and it cost me my sub-2:00 time! I ended up running it in 2:05 (not bad, but those shorts messed me up...Lol!) Other than the "wardrobe malfunction" the race was great, the course was great the music...the music...the music?? It wasn't my "cup of tea" so of course I had my headphones on the whole time (Thank you Snuggbuds) Oh, yeah...there was that ONE group playing "California Love" by Dr. Dre and 2Pac which got me HYPE right when I was passing the Mission Valley YMCA.

Overall it was a great time and I look forward to the 2 month break before my next Half Marathon. We will be attempting to kick butt in the Vista Half Marathon (formerly the Big Money Half) on August 11th and then the America's Finest City Half on August 19th! Wish us luck!

PS: Thank you Mr. Tracy Morris and the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Western Region and Nubia Leadership Academy for sponsoring me for these runs!

Also...Please it is not too late to donate towards the ~> "Dash for Dad" run to benefit Prostate Cancer research. (Anything is helpful) I'll be running in December 2012 at the Rock n Roll Half in Vegas for this cause which has personally affected me, with my father passing at the young age of 55, and knowing that it affects countless lives across this planet!
