Last weekend we traveled to Florida to see my mother-in-law. She had had cataract surgery and we went down to say hello. By coincidence, it also happened to be the weekend of Panama City’s Mardi Gras celebration, a two day festival on Friday and Saturday replete with Zydeco and Cajun bands and a couple of…

The race started with a huge barrage of fireworks as thousands of runners walked/jogged toward the start line. Thanks to great corral placement, I crossed the start line only 2 minutes after the gun. Jodi and I ran together for a good while. With so many people and so much interaction along the way the…

The Expo I’ve run several races, including a couple of half-marathons, but I’d never been to a real, live, honest-to-God expo. We arrived at Disney on late Wednesday night. So Thursday we headed to a park until noon, when I planned to leave the family for the expo which started then. I wanted to get…

Not me. But, my 6-year old won the kids 1K fun run! He ran 1K in 4:48 and was the overall winner for the 1K. I am so proud of him. He has a competitive fire that is rare for a lot of kids. My 8 year old did not run today because he told…

Running today in a 5K, my first race since the half. The course is flat, shady, and fast–so says the brochure. Race report later. Have a great Saturday.
