Too Tired For A Title
I don’t think I can ever beat this weekend in awesomeness. First rides, good runs, LOTS of new friends, and bruises/leg soreness/smiles to prove it.
After manning a water stop with the Waco Striders at the Miracle Match Marathon, I had my first group ride with the leader (the amazing teacher I met Friday) and SO many other great people! Beginner ride, of course. Seriously, why the holy heck...

But four years here got me excited about so many things I never thought I’d do. A horrible cross country runner in high school (I got last in state my sophomore year), I fell in love with all things running, then trail running, then rock...
