I put in my last two training runs this past weekend before this weekend’s 24-hour event up in Minneapolis. On Saturday I ran the White Rock Creek Trail from Hillcrest and LBJ all the way south around White Rock Lake and back to the parking area just north of Big Thicket. Deborah and I stopped [...]

This morning we decided to get an early start as Goutham had a plans at 1pm. So we met at 6am to gear up for at least a couple of loops for 19 miles. We decided if we felt like it, a third loop may be in order. Also joining us was Goutham’s friend Matt, [...]

Surface: Asphalt Mileage: 9 Duration: 01:39:00 Pace: 11:00/m Shoes: Montrail Hardrock Today was the first time I had actually run around the trail at White Rock Lake. I decided to head that way after considering other Dallas area trails from NTTR’s website. It was a very nice run and the weather was great. I started [...]
