Today was a good day for a run! My friend Kathryn was at our training session so it was fun to catch up! We ran along the Bayou and were told to run 20 minutes out and 20 minutes back. I thought we’d run as far as the Dog Park which is near Montrose, but we ended up going much…

8 October 2016: No run – only FUN!
I took the weekend off this weekend and didn’t run. We took the Darling Daughter to Belize and had an amazing time. So instead of blogging about running I’m just posting a few inspirational photos!

1 Oct 2016: Train to Trot new session at Luke’s
The new session – “Train to Trot” started today at Luke’s Locker. We have some new people onboard and everyone seems really nice. Joan gave her intro speech and the “oldies” (all of us who have been in Joan’s group for ages) kept Joan on her toes! I think that she’s used to us but hopefully it made the new…
26 Sep 2016: I’m baacckkk!!
I can’t believe its been over a month since I’ve posted. My life has undergone some changes lately. My hubby and I now have a 16-year old girl (we call her DD for darling daughter) living with us for the year. She has changed our lives and routine completely but in a good way! Our DD is from Germany and…
23 August 2016: Better than I thought
Saturday’s workout with Luke’s Locker was a long slow run. Not long if you’re a marathoner or a half-marathoner, but long for someone like me, who doesn’t like running in the heat and had to practically drag myself out of bed! Only 6 people out of the 30+ runners in our current session showed up for the run. We ran…
17 August 2016: Definitely still summer out there
Summers in Houston are not for the faint-hearted. We had a week of 100 degree days, 90+ percent humidity and generally miserably hot weather. Now the weather has turned to rain, rain and more rain. How is one supposed to keep running in this type of weather? The good news is that I’ve made it to the last 2 weeks…
29 July 2016: Summertime blues
I’ll admit it. I’ve been lazy the last two weeks. My last good run was at Hermann Park with the Luke’s Locker group. It was a good run with both Kathryn and Connie….but it was hot and muggy and exhausting. I was glad that I did it – but I haven’t been very motivated since that day. I…
07 Jul 2016: Working on my speed
The last 2 weeks have been very hot here in Houston. It’s miserable to go outside and run, so I’ve been running inside on the treadmill. I’m trying to increase my speed by using the C25K app by Zen Labs. So far the workouts have been good. The day before yesterday, I completed the Week 2, Day 2 workout. The…
22 Jun 2016: New goals to the end of the year
Now that I’ve run the Tinkerbell 10k and the NYRR mini-10k, I do not have any new races on the horizon. That got me thinking about new running goals. Certainly I would like to learn how to run faster and longer without stopping. The hard part is how do I do that? Almost everything that I’ve read says that I…
11 Jun 2016: NYRR Mini 10k race recap
My sister signed up for a conference in NYC and we decided to combine that with a girl’s weekend. So I got a crazy idea in my head that it would be fun to run a race while I was there. When I started researching options, I found the NYRR Mini-10K race which is run in Central Park. Package pickup…
