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 started doing some of my track workouts with MCRC on Thursdays and was quickly persuaded into doing a triathlon; actually my first ever triathlon. Swimming is my weakest point so the thought...

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 →
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.

After our 2001 graduation,... Continue Reading →
For years, I’ve been a runner but never run in a race until I moved to South East Texas in late 2013. I hadn't run since I graduated high school in 2001. I moved to Beaumont, a community big on running. I decided after months of searching for a 5K race that I'd give racing... Continue Reading →
Running for a purpose for Team Xander in what I call my first "REAL" trail race today! Brazos Bend 50 (25K) was a great first 25K experience. It was a great race with snakes, gators, thunder, lightning, high winds, pouring rain, hail, muddy wet trails and the people I call family. The best part of... Continue Reading →
Loved the course! Raced through a gorgeous neighborhood with big trees shading the course and gorgeous homes to admire along the way! I wondered if the multiple loops were ever going to end! 😉 The weather was gorgeous with a slight overcast and breezy just a bit humid. It's not a PR but I had... Continue Reading →
