26.2
hello everyone!
My weekend in SF- the marathon and new friends :)
so i am finally walking like a normal person again. thank goodness!
i have been so moved by the Team in Training experience– the training, the people, the cause, the marathon– that i have decided to do it again! this time i will be a mentor on the West Los Angeles Team for the LA Marathon! the marathon is feb. 16th and the season actually begins this saturday with a big kickoff event and the first practice is sunday. if you or your friends are in the west los angeles area and are interested in participating on my team, let me know and i can get more information to you. you have about three weeks left if you want to join! it is a challenge both physically and mentally, and…well… monetarily as well… but it is totally worth it :)
ok, i need to sleep off my cold. mwah!

p.s. the song in the background of the video is a song i wrote with alissa moreno called “give me back”
oovret: Week 26(.2) Marathon Week… again.
How many hours of sleep did you get the night before the marathon?
about 3.5 hours
Approximately how many liters of fluid did you consume right before, during, and immediately after the marathon?
before- about 1 liter
during- maybe a little less than a liter
immediately after- 16 oz, and then some
Will you be running with Team in Training again?
yes :)
Would you consider playing a song marathon?
a song marathon, eh? 26.2 songs in a row? if that’s what it is, count me in.
How long did it take for you to walk normally again?
about 5 days
Bonus question from asdf
Running became your weekly routine in the past few months.
Did you run this sunday?
it was going to be my first day back, but then i was sick, and i thought, bed sounds nice.
If not, did you miss it?
i did miss it :(
@dro

@carlos pineda

@keith soohoo

@ Kina
Here’s a legless Zombie ‘http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT774hw8YxU’ for you, now you’re over feeling that way after recovering from you’re marathon!
tough question for kina and to whoever is interest. you dont have to answer if thats your preference but i would appreciate if you can since it does kinda irk me when people dont say where they stand on an issue or vote as if it is private or a sacred thing. so where do you stand on prop 8? i am for no.
@Kina
“i am becoming a piece of sushi :) ”
Sounds real good to me and without question many others, but wonders whether the general public and
Your Mother
should get to know of that sort of tweet!
@Kina
Please ensure Genevieve gets on to the new CD, which of course I’d like to be a DVD really so that 1 = pretty please,
either way, it would make it a must buy for me even though my computer’s CD/DVD drivers have gone awol:/ so it doesn’t work anymore, which also means that the system recovery discs aren’t read:( and system restore doesn’t fix the problem, which is not improved by the fact that, so far, the computer’s not accepting the Sony sites onesGRRRRRRR, but then again, it still doesn’t accept itunes or much else either = OYVEZ!
Well they always say “Better late than never!” So here I am (once again).
Well done kina! whoooo!
And a nice song in the background! I’m really really looking foreward to your new album :D
heart- Menno
@ jack o’ lantern
i am for yes on prop 8.
bravo! kina, this has to be my favorite of all your videos. thank you for sharing the experience. thanks also for introducing another great song to go with it. will it be on the new album? that was exciting news too, i can hardly wait!
oovret: Week 27
So, you’re willing to play a 26.2 song marathon to raise money for LLS?
Did you turn into makizushi or nigirizushi?
What did you do with your “extra hour” this weekend?
Are you registered to vote? In LA or OC?
Have you been playing your guitar everyday like you promised? You do need to start training for that song marathon, after all.
OMG surely oovret’s not really wanting Kina to fess up as to whether she was rolled at the table or put on a finger! She probably just meant that she’d put on some seaweed type costume for the festivities.
This song = superstardom! I hope you don’t forget about your youtube fans when that finally happens.
So it looks like Pepperidge Farm has acquired a license to distribute Tim Tams in the US. I saw them in my grocery store yesterday and picked up some. Pretty good, but since I never had the originals I can’t compare them. They only had Chocolate Creme and Caramel flavors, and a perusal of Pepperidge Farm’s website indicates that’s all they’re bringing over for the time.
@Kina
I agree with Peter C…come to Vancouver, BC for a show!!! Feb 2010??? That’s when the winter olympics will be happening.
Thanks for the important news, TimR! :) Here is a link for you so you can properly perform a Tim Tam Slam!

CRIME SCENE: Police walk away from the scene where five homeless people were found slain in an encampment on West Wardlow Road just east of Santa Fe Avenue in Long Beach.
Loved the song… I can’t decide that i’d like an album with full band, electric guitars, uptempo songs, or acoustic guitar,strings, and piano…
I’d like both :) Hope there will be LOT of tracks on that album ;)
Thanks Mama G! That saves me the trouble of looking it up, since I was definitely going to do that.
Its late, time for some Tim Tam’s, guess I’ll loot my local store and then hit the sack, wait they don’t have any, I’m brain-dead again…
Good nite
You inspired me to run in the next NYC marathon. I might even fly over to Cali and run the Nike marathon for Leukemia and other blood cancers like you did! You’re too cool
kina thanks for the birthday wish, it means a lot!!!
