You ready 4 a run? And I do mean 4 a run. That digit’s no funky space-saver. Stretch out those hammies and crack out those creaks, because it’s time to lace up for a looping 4 mile lope through the Santa Barbara foothills, and as the blog title suggests, we’ll be snapping a few pictures…

Even as I write this, it’s still far too nice to day for indoor activity, so it was with great and misplaced reluctance that I journeyed to the third stop on my Gym-a-palooza tour: Crossfit Gym. Situated in Santa Barbara’s one-of-a-kind Funk Zone, amid wineries, butcher shops, art studios & restaurants—with plenty of off-street parking…
I’ve never been one for crowds…Not unless it involves something I’m completely into, and predictably, I missed/skipped/bypassed the myriad classes offered at the next stop on my Gymapalooza tour: the Goleta Valley Athletic Club.

The game is over, the pigskin tossed to the heap of spare sporting equipment for the season, the dip bowl washed and dried, but the day’s events aren’t summarized as neatly as that. For those Santa Barbarans who came out for the 9th Annual Santa Barbara Super Bowl Run, there is still the recap of…

There will be no need for the fourth place winner to attend the celebratory dinner, no need to prepare a speech, thanking Mom and Dad, and possibly a surprise figure from…
Hey Santa Barbara runners! Why not kick off your Super Bowl Sunday with a footfall instead of a football? There’s still time to register for the 9th annual Super Bowl 4-Miler staged at Cabrillo Pavilion, East Beach, Santa Barbara. A gorgeous & un’grueling out-and-back course along the bike path featuring sun, fun, and friendly faces,…
