  • Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon

    The weeks leading up to this race were filled with excitement, anticipation, and nervousness!  On April 4th I ran the Irving Marathon with my friend Liz.  We were both happy with our racing on that day and for some reason I had it set in my mind that at OKC I was going to PR. […]

On March 22nd I set out to run a half marathon on the trails in Texas.  It was my first trail race so I decided to do “just the half.”  There was a Full Marathon and a 50 mile ultra at this event.  Not only was I running, but my marathon running partner, Liz (not […]

November 10th 2013 was the date of my 2nd marathon. During my training I didn’t follow a plan and simply ran. I wrote out an extensive plan and followed it for a couple weeks but was feeling burnnout. Without having registered for the marathon, it was like I wasnt feeling that committed.  I began talking […]

Last weekend I met up with my friend Melissa and we ran 15 miles.  I met her at 5:45am in Arlington and we ran a nice and easy 15miles.  I felt great.  I would have never gotten up that early if I was heading out by myself.  This round of training, I don’t feel pressured […]

The marathon is November 10th and I have not had the structured training or the long runs as I planned.  I’m still going to run it and I feel confident.  In fact I feel better about this marathon than CowTown.  By the time the marathon came in February, I was getting burnt out and feeling […]

We flew into Portland, OR on Saturday August 10th and since we had our plane tickets, I was already planning on running and hiking.  I waited with great anticipation and as I was packing my bags on Friday afternoon, I began with my running/hiking clothes.  I packed my tech shirts, running shorts, some running tights, […]

The much anticipated Wounded Warrior half marathon was Sunday June 9th.  I had made arrangements to stay with my friend Melissa and the rest of her strider crew from Waco at the Marriot in Dallas, the host hotel for the race.  It was the best thing I had ever done in my history of race […]
