Today my family and I ran the Thankful Turkey 5K in San Marcos. We did this race last year and it was so much fun. I was really looking forward to a small, low key race after last week’s disappointment in San Antonio. My main goal for the race was have a good time with [...]

My San Antonio Marathon experience can be summed up with the old adage, “Anything that can possibly go wrong, does.” The first thing that almost made me just call the whole thing off was my conveniently located hotel lost my reservation.

My family and I ran the EGA Boo Run again this year. This is a fun event for a good cause. The run benefits the Exceptional Georgetown Alliance. Proceeds help fund therapeutic camps for school-age children with cognitive and developmental disabilities. We got there just in time for the kids to participate in the [...]

I am finally getting around to writing up a race report on the Zilker Relays. One of my running buddies that I met on Daily Mile asked me to be part of her and her husband’s relay team. It sounded like a lot of fun so of course I said “yes”. She knew I was [...]

Yup, we ran another 5k this weekend. Last week we were told to run our ashes off and this week it was our bunz. This week’s race was just about the same as last weeks: hot, humid, costumed characters and plenty of treats and fun at the finish line. I had a good time with [...]

When my kids heard about the Blue Bell Fun Run had free ice cream at the finish line they immediately wanted to run it. I signed them up for the 5K and I decided to give the 10K distance another go since it was the same price. I have been feeling much stronger over the [...]

First race back since the injury and I of course have to pick a 10K. Why did I pick a 10K?…I’ve only run one before (Texas Round up 2009) and that was such an awful experience I never ran the the distance again until now. All week long I have been unusually calm about the [...]
