One of these things is not like the other… singing yet? 🙂 Ah, the sage wisdom of Mr. Rogers. Yesterday, Sandy and I ran in the Sunshine Run 10k in Austin. This is our second year to do the race, and we really enjoy the event, and appreciate the hard working YMBL & Sunshine Camps …
…or does it? A few weeks ago, Sandy and I participated in a Global Running Day event with Fleet Feet Sports in Wichita, KS. (Check out more about The Big Run) Since this was definitely a just for fun run for us, we were taking it easy and having a blast with our friends at the …
As most of you know, I opted not to do the Dark Side Weekend this year. It just didn’t work in to my race/travel schedule, but both Star Wars race weekends are still on my list. Hopefully they will bring races back to Disneyland, and I’ll be able to do the Kessel Run challenge (without …
Last year, Sandy and I ran the 4oth Anniversary Statesman Cap10k. Taking part in the race and festivities during an anniversary year was extra cool… which left us wondering, how would we top that at the 41st Statesman Cap 10k this year? Well, the Cap 10k helped us out by offering finisher medals to us …
Howdy loyal readers, fellow Dopeys, and prospective Dopeys! Seems like eons have passed since Sandy and I completed the 2018 Dopey Challenge, and believe me I have had this recap on my mind since crossing the finish line back in January. However, travel, other race events, and commitments just kept me from having time to …
I know, a race review of a virtual run is kind of a crazy concept… what is there to review? The course layout? You picked it. The non-existent aid stations? It was just a 5k you wuss! Carry water next time. The post-race entertainment? Not even going there. All joking aside, even though this was a …
Sandy saw this event on Facebook and loved the t-shirt and medal design. I figured the 5k would be something fun and Halloween-ish we could do with the girls, AND it would be a good chance for all of us to do a trial run on some of our costume designs for our upcoming Disney races …
Yep, it’s our second half marathon in seven days! All it took was one to get us hooked. Of course, we don’t plan on keeping this kind of race schedule… gonna wait till November for our next one. The Mother Road (Half) Marathon, the name says pretty much everything. Yes, this race is run on some …
The Plano Balloon Festival should have been our second half marathon; a cool-weather, flat and fast (for us) race we would use to submit proof of time for our Dopey Challenge in January. Alas, Mr. Murphy had other plans. In April, the Alamo Half got rained out (my thoughts on the Alamo Run Fest). We …
The coast was a callin’, and we wholeheartedly obliged! I couldn’t remember the last time I was in Port Aransas, which used to be mine and Sandy’s go-to getaway. So when Sandy showed me the info for the Sand Crab Beach Run, it was time to head south. I mean, how can you resist a …
