Enjoy!
Oh, the joys of Texas heat in August. I woke up Saturday morning and stepped outside to get the paper and check the weather. At 6 a.m., it was a cool 77 degrees. Wow! I thought to myself, I haven’t run in pleasant weather conditions in a few months. What a great morning for my first long run of the fall. Click to continue »
After days of triple digit temperatures, a cold front from the day before pushed the mercury down to a relatively pleasant 85 degrees for our August Prediction Run. This was welcome news, especially for our visitors, David and Carrie Martindale, who came all the way from England. They learned about our club and our running events through the Pacer website. This month, we had a total of twenty runners join us for their first Prediction Run. 
As can be expected when the weather is pleasant, more runners finished faster than their predicted times. This month, 32 of the 57 runners beat the time they predicted when they signed up for the race. For the third straight Prediction Run, we had a runner finish less than a second off their predicted time. This time, it was Matt Pierret who also got his second entry into the 5-second club on just his third try. Wow!

Q: Where do you reside?
A: I live in Plano.
Q: Tell us about your family.
A: My darling husband, Alan, and I celebrated 19 years of marriage on August 5, 2008. Our daughter Samantha is nine and our son Ethan is six. I grew up in North Dallas as the sixth of seven children. Many of you may know my younger brother, William Moore. All five of my brothers have at one time or another been runners and my sister plays tennis and walks. My mother enjoys retirement, but not cooking.
A few months ago, I read about a free gait analysis being held at Luke’s Locker in the Dallas Morning News. Since I live near Luke’s Locker and it’s free, I decided to discover what a gait analysis is all about.
The analysis is a service provided by Dr. Allan Sherman, a local podiatrist. He has been offering the free analysis partly to see if his new computerized technology delivers similar results as his expertise from many years as a podiatrist and runner. Click to continue »

If you have been following the Olympics, you have seen how exciting the relay races can be, especially when it’s a close finish.

The team time will be the time when the final (third) leg finishes. The following are the different ways to come up with your team:
