I had an interesting run yesterday. I missed my running partners ( thought I had until I found out that some of them didn’t make the designated meeting area either) so, I thought I would spend some time by myself. Most of the mornings when I run I have my ipod dialed up for something [...]

Run Like The Wind

I just finished my first Half-marathon yesterday and while running yesterday I had time to think about my evolution in running. Some ten years ago in Sweetwater, my friend Donny Allen asked me to join him in a run. I don’t think I made it to the end of the block (because I was so [...]

Well, the big day has arrived. The Cowtown Half-Marathon is 24 hours away. If feels funny not running the week of the race, but they say you must taper and save your run for race day. We’ll see. Tomorrow 13.24 miles await me in downtown Fort Worth. I’ve already printed the map in my mind [...]

The Cowtown Marathon is one month from today! One month from today I will be attempting to run 13.1 miles (Half) for the very first time in my life. I’m on track.. up to 10 miles and yet I’m still a little scared of running the whole 13. One month and counting… here I go.
Changing Your Style

I’m trying to change my running style. Having just finished the book BORN TO RUN, I’m interested in the POSE method of running which is more natural, and increases your endurance and running speed. However, I’ve formed some very bad habits in my running and it’s hard to change your style. I find that when [...]
Run The Mile You’re In

There are many things that I’m learning as I run. One of them came from an online running friend who was encouraging me in my apprehension about running the full 13 miles for the Half-Marathon in February. Somehow the whole 13 thing has me kinda nervous. The advice given to me today was “run the [...]
My New Running Buddy

So my new year of running began yesterday with a twist. About half a block down from my house as I began I heard barking. Let me back up and say that I searched all over the house for my ipod from Saturday’s run, but couldn’t find it. I was frustrated until something told me [...]

It’s not even Jan. 1 yet, but I’ve signed up for this Saturday’s Resolution Run at the Sandhills State Park in Monahans. I sure hope that the wind ain’t a blowin’. Here’s a video that gives you an idea of the terrain. Daniel is running it too. We’ll see if he can keep his record [...]
Sign Me Up–Cowtown Half-Marathon Here I Come
December 26th, 2009

One of the ways I’ve stayed motivated in my exercise program is to set goals and events to shoot for. I planned for the White Buffalo 5K in October, the Turkey Trot in Fort Worth in November, and today, I signed up for the COWTOWN MARATHON (half) in February. I did it and I’m committed [...]
