The Running Couple

Visit to Colonel’s Bicycle

Isis — Wed, 15 May 2013 12:26:26 +0000

Yesterday we went to visit Colonel’s Bicycle who will soon be our new enduraLAB neighboor off of Foch. We’ve always been bike curious and actually considered getting into riding back before we became the running couple. Back in the day we figured running shoes cost less than bikes… so we went with running. Well, now [...]

Paleo on Mother’s Day- No Way!

Isis — Sun, 12 May 2013 18:37:26 +0000

Follow the Paleo diet on Mother’s Day? Yeah, only if you enjoy Chinese water board torture. When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade right? Well, when holidays and reasons for celebration are handed to you, you treat yourself to brunch, cupcakes, etc. (Insert triumphant symphony) For Mother’s Day this year, Lee made reservations at [...]

This Blogger is Back

Isis — Fri, 10 May 2013 11:54:06 +0000

After almost 2 years of hiatus and revelations, I’m back on the blogging scene! I have been given the awesome opportunity to be a blogging contributor for the Fort Worth Moms Blog. I didn’t really intend for The Running Couple to be a “mom” blog per say, but times have WAY changed and now it [...]

Make Us Do Burpees!

For every dollar donated on Wednesday, June 13th, our New York City Marathon team will collectively do that many burpees. So even if you donate $5, it’s work for us! Your donation will not only help to advance research, support patients and create hope for the pancreatic cancer community, it will provide added motivation for [...]

Hot Chocolatey Fun!

Isis — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 22:51:36 +0000

I must admit that upon waking up and receiving an email from the Hot Chocolate race director that there was weather advisory predicting a wind chill of 19 degrees, I was not excited about running this race. I turned to Lee and asked, “babe, am I going to get hypothermia?” Needless to say, he laughed [...]

Hot Chocolate 15k Coming Right Up

Isis — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:59:19 +0000

This race seems to be getting some serious flak lately. As with any new series or program, there are going to be some hiccups and I think people need to chillax. Yup, chillax. With that being said, I’m excited to be heading up to D-town to take part in the chocolate madness with my gal [...]

Grandma’s Marathon Week 1

Isis — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 04:41:48 +0000

I cannot believe that Grandma’s Marathon is 20 weeks away. Since that is a real statement and not a figment of my imagination, marathon training commenced today. I am excited, scared, nervous, cautious, intimidated, HUNGRY but most of all determined. My goal is 4:30 but under 5 hrs would make me happy. I think it’s [...]

New Year, New Run Opportunities

Isis — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:17:11 +0000

Lee and I were blessed to start the first weekend of the new year with a social run at the grand opening of enduraLAB. It’s been about 3 years since the beginning of our running journey and we couldn’t be happier to be on this path. We have a few exciting events coming up that [...]

First Marathon (Relay) Post Baby Jack

Isis — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 02:37:01 +0000

Since giving birth to Jack, I’ve ran. Shoot… I’ve even ran up to 8 miles just joining in on enduraLAB training. For whatever reason, I was nervous to the point of making myself sick today before running my 5-mile (yes only 5 mile) leg of the Dallas White Rock Marathon Relay. It was the first [...]

Can the Hot Chocolate 15k/5k Set a World Record?

Isis — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:53:28 +0000

Who doesn’t love chocolate? Lee’s favorite is dark chocolate with a touch of sea salt and my favorite is white chocolate with hazelnut. We are all in luck because there is a race coming to Dallas-Fort Worth that dangles chocolate in front of us as we run instead of a carrot. The Hot Chocolate 15/5k [...]
