Rock N Roll Dallas Half Marathon Is Next - Sunday 3/27

The next challenge is this weekend, the Dallas Rock N Roll Half Marathon. Sunday looks like it will be a beautiful day for a nice long run - a little over 2 hours. The course starts at City Hall downtown, and finishes at Fair Park. In between it goes west of downtown, up through Highland Park, over towards White Rock Lake and then through East Dallas to the fairgrounds.

The last couple of weeks have been pretty crazy. We helped chaperone the ESD senior class trip to Cancun, at a really nice resort call Dreams. All inclusive, it had good food, nice rooms, a great spa and workout facility and a beautiful beach. The five days we were there were spent enjoying the Mayan Riviera and the beautiful weather. The kids and all the adults had a great time. I got to run on the beach, bike into the town a few miles away, and swim in the ocean in preparation for my upcoming endurance events.

Our whole household, however, passed around a pretty nasty stomach bug starting a couple of days before we got home. It kept me out of the office for 3 days, and away from my workouts for 6 days. But I'm back on track and feeling well and rested for Sunday's jog in the (Fair) park.

We've had a great result from the fundraiser so far - in the last 2 months we've raised almost $9000 and we're really just getting started. So come out and watch the race, enjoy the beautiful weather and help us raise awareness ans save lives in the process!
