We’ve been members of the Dallas Galloway training program for several years now. Kelly’s even been a pace group leader (PGL) for two of those seasons. Yet now we find ourselves as the program directors. Fun times! (Maybe.) It’s far more administrative work and people management than it is running training. The training portion takes […]
Fitness
Thank You Lord
Thank you, Lord for… the ability to run. legs that don’t have a thigh gap but can carry me through a marathon. the crease on my forehead that shows my age – and my determination. the beauty of the lake in the middle of a metro area. friends to share the experience with.
When in Doubt – Run
The big questions of life: If you’ve only run three times in six weeks, should you run a marathon? If you’ve had a head cold for over a week and have barely slept because of coughing and congestion, should you run a marathon? If there’s been a major sleet storm that shut down the city, […]
Kelly & Shannah, Run (From Zombies)!
So I’ve joked/thought about getting the Zombies, Run! app for a while, but I wasn’t sure that the cost ($4.99 for an app – high) would be worth it. Plus I was worried about draining my data plan. That’s where it’s great to have friends who already have the app and could give me an […]
Form Follows Fitness
It’s hard to believe that this weekend was the first time that we’d ever run the Form Follows Fitness 5k – surprising given that it’s a race that supports my industry (A/E/C) and has been around for 4 years. And we still almost didn’t run the race, thanks to Kelly waking up with a terrible […]
A Redemption Marathon
Last weekend’s Houston Marathon was a big run for Kelly and our best friend, J. Kelly desperately needed a really strong run, a run that said he still had speed and a fighting chance to chase a Boston qualifying time. J wanted to break 4 hours. He said the mission was PR or ER. Both […]
A Great Galloway Season
Friday night we celebrated another great year of Galloway training. Celebrating is an important part of any challenge you set for yourself, particularly when hard work, time and sacrifice is involved in the pursuit of your goal. Plus it’s fun to see everyone in the group wearing proper clothes. And hair not covered by hats, […]
Revisiting my 2014 Dallas Marathon
Still playing blog-catch-up after months of crazy-busyness and not wanting to do anything other than work and sleep. As I mentioned yesterday, I had an insane week leading up my all-important Dallas Marathon. The first decent night’s sleep I had was the evening before the Saturday expo. So it’s no wonder I was in high […]
Our New Year’s Day Tradition Continues – Slightly Revised
For the sixth year in a row, Kelly and I ran the New Year’s Day 5-miler. He’s run it more times than that, but we’ve run it together every year since he convinced me to start running in the fall of 2008. But things were a little different this year. For the first time in […]
