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 →
