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!

  • Wild Hare                    50M / 50K                     November 20, 2010
  • Texas Trail                   50K*                              December 11, 2010
  • Bandera                       100K                              January 8, 2011
  • Rocky Raccoon            100M*                            February 5, 2011
* Time goal races

Who else is in?  I know that I have a few crazy friends who may be up for some of these races....

    Girl, you know I will be happy to come watch, to hang out at the finish line and keep the camp chair warm. You can count on me for that 100%.

    Awesome! I knew that you two crazies would be in. Becky- we will be seeing a lot of each other on the trails!

    I am pretty sure Bruce is planning Bandera 25K - maybe we can talk him into the Texas Trail 12.5.....
