I don’t think I have ever been as ready for a race as I was for the Orion Ultra 100 mile race on October 14, 2017. This was the inaugural event put on by race directors, Rob and Rachel Goyen of Trail Racing Over Texas. There was a distance for everyone; a 10K, half marathon,... Continue Reading →
Every year for the last four years I have run the Gusher Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K as my birthday race. This year along with Gusher, I was able to run the Safelite 5K that fell on the day of my birthday, March 11th. I found out about the race the weekend of Gusher and registered. Several from the...

My Gusher experience this year was like no other! It was a week long adventure and was nothing more then amazing! I spent the week leading up to the Gusher Marathon volunteering my time to help where needed; whether it be with loading, unloading, getting supplies, putting signs out, packet pickup, packet stuffing, mile marker...

With the taper period for the upcoming Brazos Bend 100 underway, I think it’s fair to say that things are getting real. As well it should, being just four days away til I hit the trails on my 100 mile journey to continue raising awareness for Autism. I’ve been training for this weekend all year, using other races and longer... Continue Reading →
Have you ever done an indoor triathlon? It's amazing what a few runs with the Mid-County Run Club will do for you!

I had originally planned to run the half marathon and do the 10k cycling time trial this year until I received word that they were adding a fitness event. They added a fitness challenge called the Roughneck. I was intrigued by the challenge and changed my entire race day plan to do not two events... Continue Reading →
Have you ever volunteered at a race before, during or after? I've helped in the past with races here and there but I've never had the chance to volunteer with a big local race until NOW. If you haven't volunteered at a race, please do! Everyone should volunteer! Packet Stuffing I volunteered for packet stuffing... Continue Reading →
I made it a goal of mine at the end of September 2015 that I would dedicate my training to ultras for the upcoming 2016 year, so I found a race and started training strictly for it and nothing else. I've run a couple races with Trail Racing Over Texas throughout 2015 and decided that... Continue Reading →
This race is an out and back starting and finishing at the Carl Parker Multipurpose Center where participants run a mile and a half down along the seawall to the turnaround and back to the finish. This was my second race of the year, just a week after finishing my first ultra marathon...whaaa!!! I hadn't planned... Continue Reading →
Brazos Bend 100 was originally planned to be my first ultra marathon where I'd be running the 50 mile distance, which I had been training for but as we all know that sometimes things change and you have to compromise when it comes to having to run another distance or not running at all. Frankly,... Continue Reading →
