only in Texas

having the right apparel and equipment is essential for any sport... in Texas, however, you adapt to local customs and learn to do everything in your cowboy boots!
Happy Wednesday! And final word on the Warrior Dash is that it's on!! See you this weekend!
Saturday I'll be participating in the Urban Dare in downtown Dallas!

the Warrior Dash race is on!

Warrior Dash Texas 2010 is back on!! Late updates indicate the final decision places the ultimate race back on the schedule for this weekend - with limitations.
Michael over at Obstructed View says that the race is on with the limitations of busing people to site (no onsite parking), and no more than 2,500 people on site at one time.
Dallas Observer blog indicates a similar issue with parking, and that updates will follow with new parking information. I'll update whenever I find something.
Jim over at Terrell Daily Photo also reports that all registered participants will be receiving an email update from organizers later tonight or tomorrow.
Personally, I'm pleased with the decision and hope everything works out without any problems.
**LATER UPDATE** 4/28/10 -- today we'll find out if Dallas County is going to stick their noses in the mess... let's hope not.
**Latest update! 4/28/10 -- the lawyer for Warrior Dash will be meeting with Dallas County officials at 1pm today to try and work out any last minute issues.... stay tuned!
Final Update: The race is on!! See you this weekend!!

A few photos from the dog show at the Heritage Jubilee today...a few more dog photos are over on my facebook page here...
I was halfway thru editing about 100 photos today when my PC locked up and shut down =) i will have photos posted tomorrow!
I ran the 3rd 5k ever in my life today - and I ran it! I ran the whole course in 32:26 with no walking, which was a personal accomplishment for me!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Speed Ball!! Throw 3 pitches clocked by radar, and they guess how fast the 3rd throw will be! If they're wrong, you win a prize!

terrell vs hillcrest

So many things going on this week... and i'm trying to prepare for another 5k this Saturday!
Today's photo is from the Terrell Tigers playing Hillcrest down in Ben Gill Park tonight. I left the game before it ended so I could watch Lost, American Idol and check on the results from the local DA runoff election. It was a busy day to say the least!
I'll have some more photos from the game posted over at my facebook page tomorrow night. Click the link in the right hand column to follow me on facebook!

Austin American Statesman - 2010 Capitol 10k





A few photos from the Austin American Statesman Capitol 10k race today... I didn't carry my camera when I was running, so most of my shots are from the un-timed runners near the end. Quite a few people came in costumes of sorts - pink flamingos, hippies, Elvis, and a whole lot more that I couldn't identify... in capes =)
I finished the race in 1:10:28 - which I'm completely happy with! I really wanted to finish right around an hour and 10 or 11 minutes, so it's all good =) I think I'll concentrate on improving my 5k time in the near future - the 10k was a little much... i'm sore now, but it was worth it to run through downtown Austin and just take part in it.
