Well, friends- Nothing exciting has happened this year. Check back with us in 2013. Love, Beth and Alex I’M JUST KIDDING. Gosh, you’re just so gullible. Yesterday, our pastor made us turn to our neighbor and talk about how we would define this past year. It only took me about .2 seconds to come up … Continue reading
Hi there. Beth here. I’m currently sitting in my kitchen. My eyes are bloodshot, my knees are locking up when I walk, and the bottom of my feet are on fire. I ran a half-marathon today. I moved my body 13.1 miles, and lived to tell the tale. Here it is. The day before the … Continue reading
We’ve been playing a really fun game with UPS this week called, “Why won’t you just leave the package on our porch like we asked you to?” so my training schedule got thrown off because I wanted to be home in case they decided to stop by while someone was actually at home. Don’t worry … Continue reading

She’s been running with another half-marathoner friend who was out of town this weekend so I got to play substitute. We went to the Katy trail, which … Continue reading

We haven’t been running en schedule like we should be because we’re worried that our tennis shoes will melt to the asphalt AND our schedule has been so busy that, at this point, I would welcome the end of the world because I … Continue reading
Alex and I took a week off from running to train for the Tour de Gap. Haven’t heard of it? Haven’t heard of the bike race in Buffalo Gap, Texas which is a city that has approximately 432 people? Okay, weirdo. It’s a bike race benefitting a local food bank and you can choose from … Continue reading
This week’s theme is “Wise Family Circus Takes it on the Road”. Yes, that’s right folks. Step on up and see these appropriately-dressed pseudo-runners as they attempt to follow a half-marathon training program. Let’s watch on: -While waiting for my run to begin, I noticed that my tennis shoes were untied. So I bent over to … Continue reading
