True. Saturday evening and early Sunday were great. But, I guess that I should include that I run about 4:30 in the morning most days. Two little kids kinda make it tough to run any other time. But, yes, I saw people out running in the sun this weekend and I was VERY jealous.

I just have one toddler for now, my wife is due with our second in March. I get one weekend run outside every week, usually during his nap but Saturday my wife arranged childcare for the 2st half of her scrapbook day so I had no real time limit on my run. During the week I go out after he is asleep. If my wife is not home or if I want to catch something on TV I use the treadmill.
I'm not sure how this will change with the second.  I know it will change for a while, but I hope to get back to my current routine within a couple of months.

Nothing in the North FW/Keller area. In the area, however, you have:

1. Run On over in Coppell. I believe Pesiv works there. It's at Denton Tap and 121.


I'll let Pesiv tell you about Run On. When I worked in Dallas (and about to be working there again), I knew most of the employees at the Mockingbird store.

I reckon I can chime in here, eh? I do manage the Run On! store in Coppell. We don't have a treadmill but we will do a visual gait analysis by having you walk and run in the store, less shoes, so we can deduct what type of shoe will best meet your needs taking into consideration the size and shape of your foot as well. We tend to bring you out multiple options which will serve you well. We aren't too far from Keller if you come up Southlake blvd to 114 take it to 121N and go maybe five minutes past grapevine mills/sandy lake we're right there at Denton Tap on the southeast corner.

I grew up in Arlington and used to frequent the Runner for my needs there. Don actually fit me in my first pair of running shoes when i was in middle school. I love those guys and still drop in to say hi to Larissa and Don's son Phil from time to time. Where ever you decide to go I hope you are well served and I'm sure you will find a properly fitting pair of running shoe will make your running much more enjoyable. We hope to see you out here in Coppell but regardless Happy Running and see you out there !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!

I'm off to go fit the Flower Mound Track team in spikes and trainers tonight, about 100 kids in two hours..... shoe chaos !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!

_{cheers y'all}

Cora,

Your brother and his liver problems will be in my prayers. I have a cousin and a musician friend who both had liver transplants that were very successful.

Also, just a reminder about the concert this Saturday evening (Feb 10) at 7:00pm with me on piano along with the Alvarado H.S. Honors Chorale (isn't your daughter in that?) at Alvarado First Baptist Church.  And maybe I'll see you at Haltom Stampede (if it's not raining).

Thank you Ray. Yes, Emily is in AHS honor chorale, but she is working that night, so won't be there. I, however, might go...if I can get someone to go with me. I've seen flyers for it all over town...it's a pretty big deal.

I'll look for you at Haltom. How do you feel about a double loop 10K?

---

 

Hope you can go to the concert. I think you'll like the music.

Haltom 10k doing a double loop doesn't sound that exciting to me, though I liked the 5k course itself because it's not as hilly as the old 10k one.  But something about seeing the same scenery more than once...it's kinda like doing laps around a track, okay for training I suppose but not fun for a race.  But that's just me.  I 'spect my time will be better on this course than on the previous hillier one.

Yep, you're a pretty big deal Mr. Ray Andrews.  Here is the email my daughter's choir director sent out:

"You are cordially invited to attend a local benefit concert this Saturday evening, February 10 at 7:00 p.m. in the auditorium of First Baptist Church , 207 E. US Highway 67. Our own AHS Honor Chorale will be featured during the concert. Sharing the stage with our choir is Mr. Ray Andrews, an excellent concert pianist and composer from Fort Worth . The purpose of the concert is to raise funds for Alvarado's sister city in Israel , Kiryat Shmona. During the warfare last summer, Kiryat Shmona was hit by over a thousand missiles. One-third of the city's 24,000 residents spent the 31 days of hostilities hiding in shelters. The other two-thirds fled to safer places like Tel Aviv. Two thousand buildings were damaged in the attacks. Many of them are beyond repair and must be rebuilt. The Israeli government will pay half the cost of replacing these homes, schools, and businesses. The rest of the cost is to be covered by the residents of Kiryat Shmona. The purpose of this concert is to bring in funds to help them with those expenses.

Among the selections to be performed by Honor Chorale are the stirring chorus from Les Miserables, Do You Hear the People Sing, How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place from Johannes Brahms' A German Requiem, the contemporary hymn Here I Am, Lord, and the Norman Luboff arrangement of Dixie that is so full of rich, resonant chords, one must hear it to believe it. Featured soloists on Do You Hear the People Sing are Bo Wilson, Randy Head, and Victor Toruno. Soloists Jessica Woodard, Auston McIntosh, Heather Duckworth, Layne Kight, and Matthew Puccio are featured on Here I Am, Lord.

Mr. Andrews will play several of his own compositions including two written specifically for this concert: Kiryat Shmona and Places of the Heart, a four movement suite. He will also be heard playing Liebestraume (Dream of Love) by the Romantic composer Franz Liszt. The choir and Mr. Andrews will join forces to close the program with a dramatic setting of Hatikva (The Hope), the Israeli national anthem.

Tickets are $5.00 each, and every penny of the ticket price goes to help the residents of Kiryat Shmona. Tickets are available in advance through AHS Choir members."

I will definitely be there.  I think my son will go with me.  Their auditorium is not very big...hope there's room for everyone.

Hey guys, I just found this page although i am not a "DFW" runner I live on the outskirts of it. I ran the cowtown and am goign to do the BIG D half.
