Since I last posted in June, I have completed 5 more races and will be doing the Rock and Roll San Antonio 1/2 marathon in December.
In June, I completed the Wounded Warrior 10K in Las Colinas, Texas and finished 14th in my age group. This is one of my favorite events, so I try to do it every year.
Another event I did in June is the HEB Summer Run to Fun 5K, and I placed 2nd in my age group and got a nice medal for my efforts.
In July, I ran the Endurance Outfitters Hot to Trot 5K and placed 3rd in my age group and got another medal.

In August, I ran the Schlotzsky's Hot Bunz Run 5K and finished 4th.
I had two races in September. First was the Gallop or Trot 5K, and I got 3rd in my age group once again and another cool medal. The next day was the Plano Hot Air Balloon Festival and 1/2 marathon which was a race I had never done before. Many of my friends signed up for the event, too, so we all got to gather together for before and after race pictures. I also did something else I had never done before, and that was to ride in a hot air balloon! Great experience!

I have been keeping up with my 2,015 miles in 2105 challenge, and as of today, I have completed 819.36 miles. I am on a team with two other women, so my portion was to complete 672 of those,miles, but I am on a roll and want to keep up the momentum. I just signed up to do 2,016 in 2016, and I am already looking forward to completing that, too.
Lots of trips in the near future: Seattle this month, Rome, Florence, and Venice, Italy next month, will be running my first FULL marathon in Little Rock in March, and then in June, my family and I will be doing the Rock and Roll 1/2 marathon in San Diego.
In between all of this, I keep working away and try to maintain my friendships and go on as many group and solo motorcycle rides as I can fit in.

Lots of great opportunities both personally and professionally are on the horizon, and as always, I am excited about the whole lot of it!
