Just got home from day 10 of my challenge to myself (and some of you) to do a 5K everyday in the month of May. My BRF (Best Running Friend) Sara pointed out that it’s a good thing 5K a Day doesn’t rhyme with August. Indeed. Because I live in TX and that’s just not […]
5K a Day May! Woohoo!!
ETA WE HAVE A HASHTAG! Thanks to a great reader who suggest #5KadayinMay. So post your photos, comments, blogs, whatever and use that hashtag so we can all support each other. Woohoo!So I have to admit I was sort of hoping you people would forget all about the 5K a Day in May challenge. After […]

Moving Backward to Move Forward – TOO MANY RACES!
So, it’s been a busy few months of racing for me. My racing “season” goes from, ideally, November – March. This is because of the Dallas summers which are next to impossible to train in. Mainly because when you run you feel like you are inside the mouth of a dog. It’s hot, it’s incredibly […]
Jenny’s Letter To Herself Before Her Very First Run
A few days ago, I wrote a letter to myself. Not myself now, but the self that headed out on that first, crazy intimidating, totally scary FIRST run. Over on the FB page, I asked other runners to do the same. I hope to post them here on the blog with the hope that they […]
