Shortly after my last training post, I strained my calf muscle, so I was unable to run for 5 weeks. After building my distance back up, I completed my 10K and a 15K. Then, a massive winter storm hit Texas. We were much luckier than […]
Since my running has been all over the place for about a year now, I felt like I needed to build back up to a good base. When I first started running, I used Couch to 5K. It slowly builds a runner up to a […]
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 […]
