Runners Need Support

If one has ever participated in any type of sport or team activity, the experience of hearing the cheers and claps of the crowd/audience is pleasing, to say the least. I am not a runner, but enjoy being on the sidelines, spurring the runners on with clapping and encouragement. This singular activity is well worth it when the runners (who are really doing all the hard work) thank you for coming out to watch.

I'll be at the Rock-n-Roll Marathon to provide claps and cheers for all the runners, not just the "elite". Looking forward to providing observations and updates as I follow James and others to the finish line!

San Antonio Runners Rule @ B2B 2010

San Antonio teams swept 4 of the top 5 places at this year's Beach to Bay Marathon Relay in Corpus. Two of those 4 SA teams were running for Fleet Feet San Antonio. Congratulations to those competitors: Fleet Feet Sports Mambas, Fleet Feet Juniors, Los Borrachos and GMTC.

Texas Independence Relay Results

The results are in for the 2010 running of the Texas Independence Relay, one of the coolest races to be found in Texas or elsewhere, for that matter. Congratulations to all the participants, to the numerous volunteers, and to race organizers Joy and Jay Hilscher.

Several San Antonio based teams ran the event. Kudos to Dr. Mitchell Finnie, a runner with Los Paisanos, the top finishing SA team. They covered the 203+ miles in 24 hours 53 minutes 30 seconds. The team from the Mid-Texas Symphony, which I led, finished in 29 hours 42 minutes 48 seconds.

Need a Lift?

I just ran across this inspiring blog and highly recommend it. It lifts my spirit to see so many people applying their passion and commitment to running to such great causes.
