Despite the 100+ degree temperatures in Texas, I am determined to get back in marathon shape.  The treadmill and dark roads in the early morning have become my best friends.  I’ve researched many Texas races, and have narrowed it down to these below.  I think I can financially and physically afford 1-2 half marathons and a full marathon this race season!  These are all new races to me, so I’m excited to experience something totally new and different in the upcoming season.  And hopefully the list below will give you some ideas if you are a Texas runner!

I have lost between an Irish Setter and a gold brick.  Fascinating!  How much have you lost?

I miss racing.
I miss hating running while I was running because it hurt so bad, yet felt so good.
I miss running with 30,000 other people.
I miss taking hideous race photos.
I miss breaking my own records.
So, I made the decision last night to look for a race this year and go for a new PR. Not for anything else but my love and longing for a bad ass race.

I feel like I fell out of love with racing this last year, and I can’t quite grasp why. But I’m back! Yeah!!!

ha ha!

I can’t contain the excitement.  I really need to get DVR back so that I can record any special events!
