Gearing up for the next race!

The past couple of weeks I've had the joy of running barefoot along beaches in Costa Rica. Talk about realizing why you love running!

It got so light so early there that I had no problem getting up and out the door by 5AM everyday, which, as an added bonus, guaranteed that the beaches were deserted except for me, the waves, and the sand. nice.

Now I'm back in West Texas, and it's all I can do to drag my butt out of bed by 5:45AM, and of course it's still pitch dark for another half hour or so, but worth it because of the sunrise and perfect temperature.

I'm starting to train for the White Rock half marathon in December, and so far have gotten 2 other running buddies, one of which is my sister! The more the merrier, so if anybody thinks they might want to run a half marathon, you should let me know and come run with us!

So far the schedule is shaping up like this: Mon, Tues, Thursday mornings at my favorite running park (speed work on Tuesdays) and long run days are Saturday Morning at a great area for long runs (email me for details on location) All other days are rest days or cross training days.

so excited to be training again!
