For my Monday run, I decided to do intervals (run 3 minutes, walk 1 minute, repeat). I programmed the workout into my Garmin, but, unfortunately didn’t repeat the intervals enough times. Tuesday, I picked up my packet for Pumpkin Spice. I was a little disappointed […]
I’m finally getting over my cold, but I’m still coughing. I had a meeting Monday night, so I wasn’t able to run. Tuesday, I did my usual morning Body Pump class, and then I had time to run after work. I do not like it […]
The cold I mentioned last week hit me with full force this week. As a result, I missed my Monday and Wednesday runs and Tuesday morning Body Pump. After staying home from work Wednesday, I finally started feeling better, and I was able to make […]
And, so it begins… I like to have a long half-marathon training schedule, because I tend to get sick/injured/or otherwise behind in my training. This is my first of 18 weeks training for Cowtown 2018. I’m running the challenge again – the 5K on Saturday […]

In mid-May, I ran the 5K celebrating the opening of the new trail head on Marine Creek Lake. It was cloudy, very windy, and freaking cold for mid-May. I thought it might rain, so I initially wore a cap, but realized the cap probably wouldn’t […]
This year was my second time running the Buffalo Boogie at the Fort Worth Nature Center. Aggie has run both races with me, and, this year, I convinced both kids to go with me, too. It was a cool, sunny morning. The race seemed a […]
Just a little over two weeks after Cowtown, I had a bike wreck and really banged up my right knee. It hurt so bad to wear pants that I actually wore a dress to work! The injury caused me to take a little break from […]
