Rock n’ Roll Dallas 2015 re-cap
Since I never got my New Orleans full recap up, I figured I’d better get busy on this one ASAP! This race was a different one for me, in a good way. It’s so fun to be there when your friends hit their goals they work soooo hard to achieve! Ally went with me to […]
Dallas Marathon race review
I’m finally getting this done. The last few weeks have been a blur. I enjoyed my time off at Christmas and got stuff done at home. But got no blogging done at all. The Dallas Marathon was supposed to be my first full in December 2013. But a little ice storm kinda halted that plan, […]
Marathon Monday: training update + a PR
So, I decided to run a half marathon yesterday. I’ve never waited until the last minute to sign up for a race. I am a planner. But since I no showed Michelob, I really wanted a half this fall that I could PR. The Dallas Running club puts on a great race, the half starts […]
Marathon Monday: training update
It’s Monday again. The weekends seem to go by quick these days. I did get several projects done at home though. I’ve been wanting to paint some of our furniture and finally got it done. I need one more coat on the top and a layer of wax. It’s kinda sticky right now and I’m […]
Throwback Thursday {link-up}
I am loving this Throwback Thursday link-up. I’ve been going through old posts and reading race re-caps. It’s been fun! Here is the re-cap of my very first half marathon, it’s also one of the first posts I wrote so it’s kinda blah. Not too many pictures and the paragraphs are all run together. It […]
Find your strong: Patriot Half Marathon recap

Wednesday Wonderfulz #4, Race edition
You know that saying “a day late and a dollar short”? Well I am almost a day late and a post short. This month has flown by and I’ve been busy and distracted and unfortunately the blog is suffering. But I’ve been thinking about this theme for a while and am excited to share my […]
Hilliest half in Texas, aka Zooma Texas recap
I had the best time this weekend and seriously challenged myself on what I affectionately call the “hilliest half in Texas!” (be forewarned there are lots of pictures in the post) Last October I was selected to be an ambassador Zooma’s Texas race.

Cowtown, part 2: I’m a marathoner!!
Sunday morning started bright and early, my alarm was set for 4:40AM. It’s amazing I slept as good as I did. My headache finally subsided. I got up, got dressed, made my toast with peanut butter and started on my Cytomax drink. We were meeting friends in the lobby to head to the race at […]
