Slaying demons and gittin' er done
Yesterday was the 50K out at Bandera. I love Bandera; it is my favorite place in the world to run. When I get in the car to drive out there, my soul is light and I have a big ol' shit-eating grin on my face. Even when it's sucky, it's a great place to run ( Read more... ) -
It's been way too long
I was thinking about my blog over the weekend and realized that I missed writing in it. I've let it go too long...there's so much stuff that I've neglected to write about that I really should have ( Read more... ) -
More adventures of the comeback trail
Despite my best intentions, I've allowed a lot of time to pass since my last entry. Tsk, tsk. But so much is happening--and so fast!--that I'm having a hard time keeping up with the living, much less the recording.
There are worse problems.
Since Hell's Hills, I've done two more events (The Maze 30K and Pandora's Box of Rox Trail Marathon). Yeah ( Read more... ) -
Conditioning is needed
Yesterday, I did the 25K out at Hell's Hills. It's a trail race out in Smithville at a mountain bike park called Rocky Hills Ranch. This same race was my first ever trail race back in '05. I ran a 3:10 that day. Since then, I've not done another 25K, though I have done many, many races that have multiples of 25K. However, I am on the come-back ( Read more... ) -
Runner as reader
I wrote an AFM FitBlog post this morning about Micah True's death . I came home this evening and immediately wanted to pull out my copy of Born to Run to refresh my memory on Caballo Blanco, as True was also known. This is the crappy part of moving...I can't find my copy. It must be in a box in storage, one of the many books that I haven't quite ( Read more... ) -
It's been forever (or 6 months)
I'm in the process of joining the digital age by joining Twitter (Lord help us all), and there was a space in my profile for a link to my blog. Hmmmm...I remember this. I used to be pretty regular in my updates but, between moving and landing a new job, "Enjoying the Journey" fell by the wayside. So I think it's time to blow the dust off this ( Read more... ) -
Seems like forever

Some weeks seem to attract important events. I had a doozie of a week last week ( Read more... ) -
someone I admire
This is my training journal, so I try to keep my entries to running (or lack of running and rehab). But so much of what I do in running and training is tied in with life in general that the waters get a little murky at times and something more "life" related will make a splash I can't ignore or leave unaddressed. This entry is really about ( Read more... ) -
Great day
Yesterday turned into one of those totally unexpected great days. The kind where everything seems to go right ( Read more... )
