Marathon #3
The San Antonio Rock’n’Roll Marathon made its return this year. 😎 After training for it last year, it was postponed to 2021. I worried about getting my hopes up again this year and I had a few setbacks and a couple of injuries over the summer. But I had plenty of time to recover. I…

Harbor Half
The Harbor Half Marathon in Corpus Christi, Texas, is my 15th Half Marathon for 2021. It’s the Highest Half in Texas! 😃 Oh how I’ve missed this event! I started running this one back in 2016. It’s in my hometown so I get to visit family when I’m there. But back in 2019 my son…
