Reasons To Run

"The reason we race is not to beat each other, but to run together......"

A great sentiment for a Fall Monday morning.

This weekend saw the cancellation of the NYC marathon for obvious and logical reasons. I did have some peeps who made the trip to New York and were saddened not to be able to race, but their stories of how bad the city was hit by Hurricane Sandy and how awful the streets looked and felt, put the race cancellation into focus.

This weekend was also Ironman Florida and we had lots of competitors from the area have great races! The weather was favorable and lots of PR's were set! Got to love Ironman. It makes you feel invincible to cross that finish line!

Last, but never least, was the running of the annual DRC Half! This is one of the few years I have missed the race. The DRC Half marathon is a great race on a cool course and is run by runners! Shocker! This hometown race is always a great event and this weekend was no different. Lots of great reviews from veterans and newbies alike. It traditionally marks the 4 weeks until the White Rock Marathon (Now known as the Dallas marathon, but always going to be White Rock to us) and is a great warm up race for the marathon. Seeing some of the times this year, it looks like many are ready for the big race!

Happy Monday to all. Pick a race. Put it on the calendar! It will help you stay training through this busy holiday season!

Run Happy! And often!
