Being a runner is a secret I always keep to myself when meeting new people. It’s almost as if every time I share that fun fact with others, their initial reaction is the typical, “I hate running!” “That’s cool. Did I ask?” I mean, I get it. Running sucks. Even as a runner I have […]
The Surf City Marathon will always have a special place in my heart. After crossing the finish line last Super Bowl Sunday, not only did I feel like a champion, I also discovered that happiness isn’t about where you are, it’s about what you do. I’m not going to lie, I slipped into a low-key […]
The first time I ever crossed the finish line to a marathon was in 2012, I was fresh to the island of Oahu and signed up for the infamous Honolulu Marathon two days before the big race. Everyone thought I was small kine crazy for taking on a daunting challenge with zero training, but no […]
You guys, I’m still on a small kine high from the Malibu Half Marathon. Although the race was over a week ago, I can’t help but get all giddy when I think about the entire experience, because it goes so far beyond the finish line. You see, this year I made a promise to myself […]
With basic bitch season in full swing, I can’t help but crave all pumpkin everything. Cozy candles, warm coffee, and my Aunt Joyce’s legendary pie — you name it, I’m about it. I mean, I even bought a pumpkin lotion to rub all over my body with the hopes some dude will smell it and […]

As a girl with her head always in the clouds, do you really think I would have missed out on watching the phenomenal #SolarEclipse2017?! Well believe it, because while some people ventured across the country to witness this once in a lifetime experience— in true Gennah fashion, I totally spaced. I literally walked into the […]
Would you believe me if I told you I ran my first full marathon with zero training?! Zip. Zilch. Nada. I bought a number off Craigslist two days before the race and ran as Lilly Lee, a 38-year old from Honolulu Hawaii. Of course everyone told me I was insane for randomly deciding to run […]
We’ve heard it time and time again, the age-old saying— “happiness is a choice.” But like, WTF does it even mean?! Yeah it’s the ultimate caption for an epic sunset pic on Instagram, but I’m pretty sure happiness is the last choice you want to make while suffering from the pain of death, drowning in a shit […]
Ever since I was a mini mermaid, I’ve had a tiny obsession with spaghetti. No joke, it was the dinner of choice for all my childhood birthday parties. Every year I celebrated at The Spaghetti Factory slurpin’ up all that meaty goodness and getting drunk off Shirley Temples. Pasta makes my mini mermaid heart happy, […]
