Why iExercise

A few weeks ago while vacationing in the mountains of Colorado I took a few moments to remind myself of why I exercise, and why you should too.

iExercise in order to be fit enough to run at an elevation of 9000 feet.

iExercise so I can load up my backpack and follow my nose up and down a primitive road, camping at the end of the hike, in the middle of no where.

iExercise so my visits to my doctor are good experiences.

iExercise because my doc says if I keep running and eating right I'm doing the best I can to avoid heart attack or stroke.

iExercise because it feels good, even when it hurts.

iExercise because I can. I can because iExercise.

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.
