This is episode 20!!!! On Sunday, I rang a cowbell, filled up water bottles, made some sort of crappy peanut butter, banana and honey tortillas, all while encouraging the folks doing the Hill Country Trivium. It's a road race put on by Brad and Nyla Quinn, of Tejas Trails, but it's a hilly challenge. Two college seniors stole our hearts as they claimed their first marathon, accidental ultra and DFL..

I went back into the time machine and recalled my sort-of-similar experience at the Heroes 25K race in Brownsville, where you battle the heat as much as the distance.

Finally, I ramble on about my upcoming 25K this weekend at Wild Hare, my FAVORITE race of the year. It starts and ends in a horse barn on a ranch outside of LaGrange.
