Crazy, eh? Probably. Crazy because I didn't share with many friends and acquaintances about the 3rd race. I wasn't planning on running the Rock 'n' Roll race. The plan was to rest up and train for the Temecula race but plans changed. I met my expectations and goals...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Xavierism/~4/1gJpK4MmP08" height="1" width="1"/>http://xavierism.typepad.com/xavierism/2012/01/back-to-back-to-back-races.htmlhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Xavierism/~3/bLgo5VDVqEM/temecula-valley-half-marathon.htmlBlessingsFood and DrinkGetaway TripsHalf Marathons/MarathonsInner ThoughtsMarathon TrainingRandom PlayRunningRunning Events/RacesSimple Joys of LifeSocial NetworkingWeekendsXavierismCalifornia Half MarathonsHalf MarathonMonte de Oro WineryRunningTemecula Vally Half MarathonTemecula WinesXavierismXavierismMon, 23 Jan 2012 13:54:40 PSTtag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341d31d153ef0168e5efb837970c***Random Play *Will Young: The Hits *Taylor Dayne: Naked Without You *The Script: Science &amp; Faith *Amanda Marshall: Everybody's Got A Story *Matchbox Twenty: Exile On Mainstream *Jennifer Knapp: The Way I Am So happy to be home writing this update from the comfort of my desk and a steaming cup of hot coffee.

Birdies are all asleep. I enjoyed every moment of Sunday. Last year was my first full year of running and I dived into many awesome races. I avoided last year's RnR Arizona race because I didn't feel quite ready to run among friends. Insecurities does a funny thing to one's confidence. So I trained with my running group and at the last moment I informed them that I would be running the 2011 Southern California Half Marathon in Irvine, California. Because it was my first...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Xavierism/~4/ljaVtrzOumE" height="1" width="1"/>http://xavierism.typepad.com/xavierism/2012/01/2012-pf-changs-rock-n-roll-arizona-half-marathon.htmlhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Xavierism/~3/_0ilG5bNPaA/someone-give-me-an-amen.html#PFChangHalfMarathon#RnRAZ#RunXavierRunMarathon TrainingRacesXavierismXavierismFri, 13 Jan 2012 08:05:30 PSTtag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341d31d153ef0168e5785603970cI'm ready to rawk this weekend! #RnRAZ #RunXavierRun #PFChangHalfMarathon<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Xavierism/~4/_0ilG5bNPaA" height="1" width="1"/>http://xavierism.typepad.com/xavierism/2012/01/someone-give-me-an-amen.htmlhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Xavierism/~3/8NGdOsRhBbM/2012-southern-california-half-marathon.htmlBlessingsGetaway TripsHalf Marathons/MarathonsInner ThoughtsLife's LessonsMarathon TrainingMy FaithRandom PlayRunningRunning Events/RacesSimple Joys of LifeSpiritualityWeekendsXavierism2012 Southern California Half MarathonMarathon trainingSouthern California Half MarathonXavierismXavierismFri, 27 Jan 2012 21:35:40 PSTtag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341d31d153ef0162ff59aad1970d***Random Play *Will Young: Echoes *Tina Arena: Greatest Hits 1994-2004 *Keane: Under The Iron Sea *Natalie Merchant: Retrospective 1995-2005 *Alana Davis: Fortune Cookies *Texas: The Greatest Hits I'm actually excited to write an update about my run at the Southern California Half Marathon in Irvine, California this past Saturday. I am not a fast runner. I run these events to help me stay fit and focused. When I keep up with my training, the running seems to come easy.
