Yesterday was meant to be the first run for Team Challenge.  Unfortunately, the injuries in my feet still have not subsided enough and I do not want to risk injury so early in to the program.  I have instead done exercises and weight lifting to keep up my cardio and fitness level.  Saturday is the 5k day, and I plan on taking plenty of time on that race to make it to the end and

Last night Team Challenge Nort Texas met at Sullivan's Steakhouse in Dallas and we had a blast!  We met our coaches, our mentors, and we received our Week 1 training schedules. 16 weeks until the race and raise my fundraising goal of $5,000! Today we start running, 3 miles at an easy pace.  My feet still hurt from the Dallas Rock 'n Roll over a week ago, but I feel I can at least huff

This past Sunday Sarah and I competed in our first ever half marathon!  We ran the inagural Dallas Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon  and I must say it was quite a road to get to it and such a feat to finish!  Labeled as a "Fast, Flat, and Fun" scenic course that took us through downtown Dallas starting at city hall and ending at Fair Park.  Training for this race was anything

Now imagine knowing a great deal about the disease and then being diagnosed yourself... My
