Too Hot to Handle


Today was the Too Hot to Handle 5k and 15k down in Norbuck Park by White Rock Lake.

I had a good run (in the 5k) and beat my time from last year. I think i finished around 32:58, but still waiting for the official times to post.

The runner in the photo was finishing the 15k not long after I finished the 5k.. =) I'll have more photos to post later - here and on facebook...

dog days


gotta love the summer heat in Texas... we were lucky today to have some clouds to block the sun a little bit =) feels like that twilight zone, where they wake up and it's really too cold!

tomorrow morning is the Too Hot to Handle run!

3rd of july


woke up to some severe lower back pains this morning... i've been nursing my back for a few weeks, trying to stave off a trip to the doc. but this morning was different - i couldn't walk! the nerve from my back/butt/left thigh was sending a shooting pain with every step.

thank goodness for muscle relaxers and advil. i feel a LOT better this evening and plan to go ahead and run my 8k scheduled for tomorrow morning!

a safe and happy 4th to all!
