Hi, I’m Page. Welcome to the new Twenty-Six and Then Some!
For years, this blog documented my running, triathlon, and Ironman adventures, and through it, I had amazing experiences, met some of my best IRL friends, and grew up right along with the Internet and blogging. If you’re still curious about those experiences, feel free to dig deep within the archives (but proceed at your own risk).
And while it used to be all about the 26 miles with a focus on the finish line, this new adventure is about the most important part, the .2. It’s simple. It’s complicated. It doesn’t quite fit into any category…and that’s what I like about it the most.
There will be the usual tales of running, sweat, and food. But more importantly, it’s writing and reading and photos and terrible jokes. It is my inner-ramblings, my random stories, my endorphin highs, my wanderlust, my love of writing…and then some.
So this is me.
My name is Page, I’m a thirty-something Californian, by way of Nevada and Oregon, living with my husband and pup. I work full-time in Silicon Valley developing digital and social strategy for a tech company, but am usually thinking about my next run, meal, photo, or adventure.
Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here!
P.S. I’d love to hear from you. You can email me at twentysixandthensome[at]gmail.com, or follow me along on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
You are soooooo quiet about something that is really fun to share. I love your blog!! How come you never told us about it?
I think you should totally have a Q&A section!
just found your blog! logging the kms and following along from the great deep-freeze in the north – Canada!!
You are sounding more like a San Franciscan as time goes by! God Bless you on your journey to Boston and, “Let -m- have it”!
Hi there! Found you through Christine @ Bun and Borough’s blog and was interested to get to know you and read more insights about running! Plus, I look forward to your delicious entries! (Who doesn’t get hungry from running? 😉 )
Page! What an awesome blog! How did you come up with the name for your blog? I was curious if “26 and then some” references a 20 something year old running blogger, or the 26 miles in a marathon…. or both!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, experiences, advice, lessons learned, etc.! Love reading them!
We have A LOT in common! And I’m in California too!
Loving your blog, fellow Bay Area running woman! We’ve done a lot of the same races and have a few in common coming up- most notably, the Nike Women’s half! And much luck on the SF half!!!
just found your blog and love it!
you are an inspiration!! 🙂
Just wanted to say hi and that I think your blog is awesome!

Found your blog through Carrots N Cake and I’m so glad I did! Love reading about your training!
Just found your blog from your guest post at Carrots N Cake. Love it so far and excited to read more.
Hi Page! I am a triathlete as well and just saw your post of your xray at the chiropractor. I have been having hip pain for the last 10 months, and just had an xray done at the chiropractor that looks exactly like yours! Are you still wearing the heel insert years later? Let me know what you found to help you! Thanks 🙂 -Natalee in Minnesota
Hey Natalee,
Glad you found the blog! That post is a bit dated so I’m glad you asked. I ended up going to that chiro multiple times with no success. Later, I found a better chiro who does ART and THAT was the trick. I no longer wear the insert as the ART, as well as preventative care (rolling, stretching, etc.) helped me loosen up my muscles which was what was making things out of whack.
Hope this helps!
Very happy to have found your blog. Everyone I know who has done IMCdA said it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. I hope you’ll have a blast, I know you can crush this race. Best of luck and keep playing hard! I’ll be cheering on you all the way from Canada.
