Since we were in Colorado for my conference, we stayed one extra day and headed to Longmont to run the American Heroes Half/Full Marathon. This is a race series, including a 24-hour, 100-mile ultra, 9 hr-11 min ultra, marathon, half marathon and a 5k. The course is a repeating 1-and-change loop. The loop includes concrete […]

Safe and Easy Running Trail in Downtown Denver
Just because I’m go out of town doesn’t mean I’m off the hook for weekday runs – especially during training season. Two weeks ago I was in Denver for a conference. I found a great (read: no traffic and safe) nearly 10-mile trail in downtown Denver – the Cherry Creek Trail. There are two sides […]
Galloway End of Season 2018 | Time for a Change
For as long as I’ve been involved with Dallas Galloway – a decade now – we’ve had our end of season party in early January. Last year it occurred to me that a January party is a lot of work. Many of our runners do three major January races, on three separate weekends. Plus there’s […]
Race Review | DRC Half
We really love running the DRC Half. In fact, we make it part of the Dallas Galloway training schedule each year. Not everyone is able to join us, but we’re thrilled for the group that turns out each year. I’m especially proud of my friend Susan, who finished her bucket list goal of running a […]
Race Review | Tulsa Marathon
How to sum up the Tulsa Marathon, Kelly’s 50th marathon? Cold. COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD. So cold that I felt brilliant for deciding months ago to only run the half marathon, which meant I only froze for half the distance that Kelly ran. I was glad it was cold, but wish we could have […]
Race Review | Chicago Marathon
Kelly made it into the Chicago Marathon – I didn’t. And you know what, I wasn’t sad about it. For a while now I’ve thought about taking a break from running marathon races. I don’t mind training the marathon distance, but I’ve found the actual race has been mentally taxing. A break was most definitely […]
Race Review | Plano Turkey Trot
We were so excited to discover a Turkey Trot race would happen in Plano this year. It’s about time! Oak Point Park was the perfect location – and more than 1,100 runners agreed with us. I hope they come back next year! We even had a few of the Lost in Pace Galloway crew show […]
February 2018 Wrap Up
February is the shortest month and thank goodness for that…otherwise we’d be crazy from all this activity. We are doing better at saying no, though. Ladies Night Out – discussing dreams while enjoying a lot of laughs. Annual running of the Hot Chocolate 15k. Kelly nearly bested his best 15k time from 8 years ago […]
January 2018 Wrap Up
Gosh – staying on top of documenting our coming-and-goings is so much easier if I just save up and write about it once a month. This could become a thing. New work website (Yay!) Celebrating new work website (Double yay!) New work podcast (so fun!) Houston Marathon Dallas Galloway End-of-Season Party Craft Beer Tour – […]
Where Did December Go?
I swear – this blog isn’t all things cooking, though it feels that way at times. We’re able to do a lot more cooking at home (yay!) thanks to some big work projects moving from In Progress to Completed status. Plus I want to pull recipes from the blog to make our own family cookbook […]
