Guest Bloggers trimming their nails for the weekend ahead

"I'm trimming my nails to get ready to blog." That's what my sister Brenda told me after she agreed to be one of several guest iExercise bloggers this weekend. She will be roving the course with a broadband equipped laptop, giving her perspective at the start, the finish and in between.

Ernie Villarreal, from the KSTX news staff and a noted San Antonio bicycle activist, will file a post on the kid's race on Saturday in Brackenridge Park and he might be one of the guys on bicycles you will see on race morning.

Award winning KSTX reporter and producer Terry Gildea will get up early on Sunday (thanks, Terry) to give a Mahncke Park perspective of the starting line.

Finally, Albert Salazar, the keeper of the Texas Public Radio website, and Kellie Fichter, TPR Corporate Support Manager, will post from a great location in Southtown which will afford them a view of the marathoners headed out at about 11.5 miles and coming back at the 23 mile mark. Be sure to look happy. Those onlookers might be Albert or Kellie and they may write about YOU.

My sincere thanks to all of the guest bloggers. If you can't be downtown, or elsewhere along the race course, be sure to "tune in" to the iExercise blog for some unique perspectives on the Rock'n'Roll San Antonio.

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.
