Cardinals opening day

The Cardinals season opener is today.  I hopefully will get to make another trip to St. Louis to watch them play.

Setcreasea, Purple Heart

I love this plant.  It will not die and has the neatest purple leaves and pink flowers. 

Tigers drop first district game

Creekview beat the Tigers last night 8-1 to tie Terrell for first place, each with 5-1 district records.

Half way

Crossing the bridge over Lake Ray Hubbard means we are half way to work.....or half way home.

Tigers win again

The Terrell Tigers varsity baseball team is all alone in first place with a 5-0 district record.  They were trailing 3-0, took a 4-3 lead, let Poteet tie it at 4, then scored 3 times in the top of the 7th.  Poteet scored once in the bottom of the 7th but it wasnt enough.  The final score Terrell 7, Poteet 5.

Dallas Rock n Roll Half recap

Yesterdays race was awesome.  I didn't run fast, but I finished.  I haven't ran over 6 miles since last Memorial Day.  Mainly because of health issues and the winter always makes is more difficult to get in longer runs when it gets dark early.

Anyway, I started in Corral 12, meaning I thought I would finish in about 2:30 minutes.  I was really thinking 2:45 but I wanted a head start.  I love large races that have a walk up to the start line.  It's always an adrenaline rush.  The race started in Downtown Dallas near City Hall.  It wandered around the streets of Dallas and Highland Park before finishing at Fair Park.  I ended up walking a lot during the second half of the race.  This morning I am barely able to walk, but it's worth it.  The RnR series always has a headliner at the finish line.  This year was the best one yet for Dallas American Authors was the headliner.  They were super!  Sounded great and loud, LOL. 

This was my third Dallas Rock n Roll Half Marathon, and I also ran the San Antonio Half Marathon in 2011.  I'm looking forward to many more.  Follow the link for the Dallas race, and click the events tab to find a race close to you.

Rock n Roll

This morning is the Dallas Rock n Roll Half Marathon.  I hope to finish by noon. 

Tigers continue the hot district start

Terrell is now 4-0 in district baseball after beating rival Forney 4-1 last night.  Brian Wickersham pitched a complete game, striking out 10.

Something in the air

A drone was flying over the soccer game Tuesday night. 

So close

Terrell boys soccer lost to North Forney last night and they were this close to tying the score late in the game. 

Stretching the run

Extended my evening run to 6 miles last night.  This Sunday is the Dallas Rock n Roll Half Marathon.

Start of "The Dash"

Looks like a dash right?

#22Kill

Yesterday was the annual Dash Down Greenville run. Thousands of runners and walkers dressed in their favorite St. Patrick's Day gear have fun on Greenville Ave. prior to the parade.

This group of guys ran the race for a purpose. They are part of #22KILL.

Here is some information from their webpage about the group:

What is #22KILL?
The #22KILL initiative is to simply show your ongoing support for the U.S. military and the veterans who have served.

Why is it called #22KILL?
There's a staggering statistic that 22 veterans commit suicide everyday.  It's important that we raise awareness around this fact so that we can all do our part to alleviate this epidemic.

More info here. 

This is how they crossed the start line. I think as the race went on they all ran individually.  They were a lot faster than I was.

Wickersham shines on the mound and at the plate

Senior Brian Wickersham pitched 6 innings and hit a home run in the Tigers 9-2 win over West Mesquite.

Bad Cat

 I like to try to watch TV before falling asleep.

Tigers win district opener

The Tigers beat North Forney 13-0 last night in the district opener for both teams.  Kris Priddy struck out 10 batters for the Tigers.

Hotel Denison

I would like to be able to go inside this building one day, but by the looks of the outside, the inside may not be in very good shape.  Not much info online for it, it was built in 1884, a fire in 1927 gutted most of the inside.  I think its apartments now.

It's economical

Not a good shot, but I had to act quick. Not everyday you see someone riding a tall unicycle down the road.  This was taken in Denison, TX. 

Alsip goes 3 for 3

Mychal Alsip went 3 for 3 yesterday, but the Tigers still lost 2-1.

On a short trip

A little soccer in the cold

It was in the 40s at the start of the game.  The Tigers lost 2-0.

Its not a Monday Mural

An update on the latest mural in Terrell.  

And a few pictures I've been working on the last few days.

Enough to cancel school

Less than .25 inches of sleet. 

 

Trinity River Run

Yesterday was the 5K/10K Trinity River Run in Dallas.

Fant fans 13

Texarkana High Senior and Arkansas commit Ryan Fant had 13 strikeouts in 8 innings Friday night against North Forney.
