I will try to do the blog posts in some kind of time
line. At times they will be out of
order, because I will be live blogging from my phone.

Wake Up!!
Life has been very busy and the blog has been ignored. I miss writing, but as I often tell my Scouts, "People make time for what they think is important." Next week, the blog will become important again. Little Troop 5 is headed to Scout Camp to Worth Ranch on Sunday. So please look for updates.

Fort Worth Half Marathon
We always
remember our highs and are lows. The
Fort Worth Half Marathon will always be remembered as a low. I picked out this half because it fit
right in my Houston Marathon training schedule for a pace run. A fast and flat course which is an out and
back on the Trinity Trails.
The run
started promising, I went out a little too fast, but backed it down and focused
on my pace. Apparently, I was so
focused on my pace, that I ran past the turnaround point. I think I was hoping on a volunteer to let
me know or very obvious signage.
Thanks to two guys running back that I had chatted with at the start to
yell at me to turn around, I would have ran a little longer in the wrong
direction. These guys had also missed
the sign.
One I got back
on the course, I had to shut down my pace in order to survive the run. I mentally got frustrated and it was tough
to continue to push myself. At mile 13.2
my body quit on me and it was a brutal run to the finish. My pace slowed to 11:30 miles. I ended up finishing with 14.77 miles with
a 9:05 pace. Officially, I had a 10:16
pace for the Half Marathon.
I will need to
regroup mentally in my training. I will never forget
this mistake.
