I am attempting to record my running adventures while chasing my goal of running the Western States 100. I want to chronicle the joy of running with friends, the fun of running alone, and the excitement of running trails.

I run primarily in the Houston area, which suffers from a trail deficiency. I also spend some time in the Austin area. I love to race and I enjoy using races as training runs for other races. Occassionally, I will get over excited on my "training race/runs" and run too fast (go figure). Luckily, I have a trail-ultra running husband who understands this craziness and tries to keep me grounded (not to mention hydrated, rested, and paced properly.)

I want to share my ups and downs, my successes and failures and try to keep motivated to my ultimate goal. Plus, if I share all of my bone-headed mistakes with you-- you will not have to make them!

The Dreadmill

I was going to try to go all winter with no "dreadmill running."  That officially ended last night. It was in the 20s with wind gusts of 25-30 mph.  No outside running!!!  It was a lot better than the last time that I ran on the treadmill- but it was still threadmill running.  I may have to continue this trend for a while until the weather clears up here.  It is supposed to snow Thursday- that could make the run more interesting......
