I didn’t sit it out. Long Beach Half #19 is done. 🏁
After a torn meniscus, foot surgery and 10+ weeks without a run, I followed Jeff Galloway’s run/walk method: run an interval, walk an interval, repeat for 13.1 miles.
I finished in 2:13:27. That’s about 25 minutes slower than my last race and way better than I expec…

Year 18 at the Long Beach Half, and I almost sat this one out.
I’ve run it every year since 2007. Then I tore my meniscus in July, and three weeks ago I had foot surgery. That’s 10+ weeks without a single run.
This week I wore closed-toe shoes for the first time in forever and tried a short run/walk. It was… okayyy. …

"I'm under contract but I already booked a trip, am I screwed?" 😅
Nope — but you need to know your actual options. There are three: Power of
Attorney (doesn't work if it's in a trust, and has to be set up in advance),
signing at a U.S. embassy (book it early, appointments take weeks), or a RON
notary if you're a U.S. …

Introducing my inspection team. 🕵️♀️🐾
Buster handles landscaping review (very thorough, very committed to that palm
tree). Cashew does appliance due diligence — she doesn't miss anything,
including the dishwasher. I just sign the paperwork.
Say what you want, we get results. 📋✅

And honestly? I get it. In a multiple-offer market, buyers want every detail right, and I'm here for all of it, even at midnight. The offers that win usually aren't just the highest price. They're the cleanest: strong pre-approval, shorter contingencies, a smart appraisal plan and a timeline that works for the seller.
Buyers, be honest: how many "one more changes" have you sent your agent? 👇
Tag the friend who rewrites their offer 5 times 😂

Did my hat blow off mid-race? Yes. Did I go back for it? Also yes. 🧢
Today my feet are wrecked and my quads are on fire, but I’m so glad I showed up and did my best with what I had.
That’s what I tell buyers and sellers: adjust the plan, not the goal. A price adjustment, a credit or a different neighborhood isn’t quitting. It’s how you still get to the finish line.
What’s your next finish line? DM me “RESET” and let’s build a plan that gets you there. 💛

Congratulations! Happy to hear your back running. Still dreaming of being able to run. Hopefully soon.
@kous_kous12 thank you!! It felt great to be out there. One and done now I have to wait for surgery

Year 18 at the Long Beach Half, and I almost sat this one out.
I’ve run it every year since 2007. Then I tore my meniscus in July, and three weeks ago I had foot surgery. That’s 10+ weeks without a single run.
This week I wore closed-toe shoes for the first time in forever and tried a short run/walk. It was… okayyy. Skipping this year felt like the obvious call.
I didn’t want to quit, so I’m resetting instead. On Sunday I’ll walk, maybe mix in some run intervals, and enjoy being part of the race instead of racing it.
I give buyers and sellers the same advice. You can’t control the market, but you can control how you respond to it. Adjusting your price, your timeline, your search area or your terms isn’t giving up. It’s how you still make it to the finish line.
If your plans have stalled, DM me “RESET” and we’ll map out a new game plan. 💛
What’s something you reset this year instead of quitting? Tell me below 👇

Buster believes throw pillows belong on the floor. Cashew believes the cookies are for her. Both believe the front door requires a full security check before any buyer arrives.
But the second that doorbell rings? Perfect posture. Total professionals. Absolutely no memory of the pillow incident.
Real estate is like this more often than people think. Behind every smooth, polished showing there's a little chaos someone quietly cleaned up first. That's my job for my sellers across Long Beach, the South Bay, greater LA, and Orange County, and I've been doing it for 12 years, with more than 600 closed transactions and a RealTrends Verified ranking in the top 1.5% of agents nationwide.
