The Houston Rodeo Run is one of the larger races in Houston. While its not the Houston Half or the annual Marathon – almost 10,000 runners and walkers participate every year. Its more of a “fun” run because it precedes the Rodeo parade downtown so there are lots of people cheering over the 1st mile. Even along the course, some…

Two runs in one day — that’s a first!
Two runs in one day completed. Who would have thought that I would ever do that! A few days ago, my friend Jennifer said she was feeling better and would like to resume running with me on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (We’ve run together a few times recently and we used to run together as part of the Luke’s Locker training…
USA Fit Houston first week done!
USA Fit Houston training has been good so far. I finished my first week of training and I have to admit that it isn’t easy for me. The first Saturday was the 3 mile time trial and I’ve already blogged about that experience. Suffice it to say that I spent most of the rest of that day getting warm then…

This was difficult for me because I know that I needed some feedback but it’s scary putting my writing out there, knowing that it won’t…
Three running blogs that I like
There are lots of running blogs out there. When I first decided to learn to run, I read lots and lots of them and they were helpful. Reading the blogs helped me get motivated to run, taught me what things I need to do before running (buy a good bra, get fitted for shoes, etc) and generally learn how to…
Practicing power yoga to help my running
I started going to yoga in March of this year, in addition to my running. I’ve done yoga a few times in the past, so when I was laid off from my job, I decided that I had the time to add yoga into my life. My nearby YMCA has lots of classes and I decided that the 0800 class…
