Ah... where to begin. I'm not even sure what's happened in the last few weeks. Something about changing jobs, moving to a new city, and running a marathon. But before all of that, I made a list of some favorite times in Dallas to officially close out that chapter. In no certain order:

• the “original” 3P Challenge event: fun team, great adventure
• Fossil: holiday time, Farkel tournaments on Friday, and the tin wall
• Small Group Bible Study & Christmas party charades
• Village Burger & Glen Phillips: one of my very favorite evenings
• PC Sundays at Fortress
• Saturday morning long runs at White Rock
• camping and exploring at Ray Roberts
• FW Main Street Arts Festival
• Northbridge extravaganzas: Harrison, a room full of balloons, and hallway chatting
• Life is Good Pumpkin Festival: tower of jack-o-lanterns, homemade chili, and Disney trivia
• couch movies at Inwood Theater
• exploring the Katy Trail with running buddies
• Vertis: birthday desserts, Golf Galaxy, Brookshire photo shoots, and the lime green studio
• volunteering at the Bridge: engaging homeless through running groups
• 48 Hours of Prayer and Service at PC
• Alias and LOST: addiction with two best buds
• backpacking at Lake Texoma
• FC Dallas soccer games
• ice/snow days: snowmen, snow ice cream, and snow running
• Heritage Salt & Light activities: being hands and feet in the community
• MP Relay (x2): 240 miles on the road + close, smelly quarters = instant friends
• Café Brazil outings with Emily S.: best conversation and coffee combo
• South Padre Island: raining in Dallas? buddy pass to the beach!
• FW Cowtown Marathon w/DM
• MP's 50 Hours of Kickball
• Shakespeare in the Park outing with Allison
• Lifetime Fitness TRI: first indoor triathlon with Erica
• Grapefest with the Amer. Air crew: food, more food, and a grape-stomping competition
• Amer. Air photoshoots for Cents: paper sailboats and golden cash registers
• Matt Nathanson, Train, & Maroon 5 concert with Amber

There are many more that I'm sure I forgot to add, and I purposely didn't include excursions outside of Dallas... which means I have a whole lot to be grateful for these last 5 years. Surely BCS would dare to hold just as much adventure, yes? Or yes?

... on race week!






Life is sprinting along here in Bryan/CS, Texas. We are PUMPED to be hosting 1500 runners this weekend for an inaugural race that is going to rock some socks off as well as raise a lot of money for some sweet, sweet kids. Several updates to come – after Sunday.
