Run Thru the Woods

I have been asked by two of my readers (perhaps, the only two) for more blog posts. Well, I have decided to give the people what they want. I thought I'd start with a running update...

So, on Thanksgiving morning ago I took part in the Run Thru the Woods-- a 5 mile turkey trot in my hometown The Woodlands, TX. My grandma and mom (I love doing things with them) walked the 3 mile course and we had fun at our first annual Run Thru the Woods experience.

Here are some snapshots of the race, borrowed off the facebook fan page and courtesy of Raceshots. 

I'm not going to lie to you... the race was freaking hard. I had trouble keeping a good pace. I think races are hard because I want to start fast with everyone else but then I lose momentum quickly. So, at about a week ago I was at 5.34 miles in my running and since I've ran slightly shorter runs just because I've been so busy! Our official training starts the 11th of this month.

7.76 miles to go
73 days remaining until the Austin Half Marathon
