The trail of the lights is back this year in Austin and there is no better way to enjoy them than running through them the night they officially open at the trail of lights 5K. This run is not chip timed and it is the one race I am okay with walking and stopping to [...]

When I began training for marathon number four, the one thing I was sure of was that it was not going to be in Texas. Of course, life almost never goes according to plan and I ended up on the starting line of the Dallas marathon on December 9th instead of CIM on December 2nd. [...]

Even though I was in the peak of my marathon training I decided to race the Boo Run this year. Like last year, I seriously considered just running it with one of the kids but I really wanted to see if I could manage to come in first overall female again. This was our third [...]

On the top of everyone’s list of 5Ks to do again this year was the Blue Bell Fun run. I love the fact that it benefits the Brenham high school athletic department but I think the real appeal is the FREE ice cream. The difference this year would be that I would be running the [...]

It has been quite some time since I have blogged but there has been plenty of running and racing going on in my life. After the disappointment in San Antonio I needed a break to recover both mentally and physically. I took about a week off from running and then I started running again but [...]
