What I Have Been Doing

What I Have Been Doing

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 […]

Couch to 5K Week 1

Couch to 5K Week 1

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 […]

I finally have a little time to write about Zachary. We had his birthday party on Saturday afternoon. Hannah had a soccer game at 11, and they were also having a kid’s fair at the soccer fields. Zachary got to see some horses, a Careflite […]

Happy Birthday Zachary!

It’s hard to believe my baby boy is 2 today. His birthday party was Saturday. He got cars, trains, and animals – all of his favorites. I’ll post pictures later; I haven’t transferred them from my camera, yet. So, here’s a picture of the birthday […]
